AITA for refusing to only nurse in my bedroom on family trip?
She is a mother fiercely devoted to her four children, including a fragile three-month-old, yet finds herself isolated and unheard in the very family gatherings meant to celebrate love and unity.
Her simple, natural act of nursing has sparked silent judgments and whispers, forcing her into the shadows while others feast, leaving her hungry not just for food, but for acceptance and respect.
Now, as a beach vacation looms, what should be a time of joy and bonding has turned into a battleground where her right to care for her child is questioned and confined.
She stands at a painful crossroads—torn between protecting her baby’s needs and confronting a family that demands she sacrifice her dignity, while her husband’s dismissal deepens her sense of betrayal and loneliness.

The original poster (OP) is facing significant emotional distress due to her in-laws attempting to dictate where and when she can b***stfeed her three-month-old baby, leading to a direct conflict with her need to care for her infant while maintaining family inclusion.
Her desire to feed her child naturally clashes sharply with her in-laws' apparent discomfort and her husband's prioritization of avoiding conflict over supporting her needs.
Given the ultimatum—either comply with severe restrictions on b***stfeeding during the vacation or face resentment from her husband—is the OP the unreasonable party for refusing to attend a trip where her basic caregiving needs are being policed, or are the in-laws justified in setting conditions for shared family time?
