I'm just a Neanderthal man that can relate to the baby more than anything.

A friend of mine is a new mother and is breast feeding her child. She was fired today and the employer said it was due to issues and a baby's feeding. In Kansas all you have to say is "your services are no longer needed" we are a right to work state. This is a business owned by a women.
I can't think of anything more natural than a baby suckling. Except the act of making the baby. I can't think of anything more unnatural than another women firing a mom for feeding the a newborn.
What a shame.
Kansas Breastfeeding Laws. In Kansas, mothers have the right to breastfeed in any public or private location they are legally allowed to be. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) offers some workplace protection for breastfeeding employees, but there are no Kansas state laws beyond this.Oct 10, 2018

Meet Annette Harper



About myself.  I was born in Wichita, KS   I have lived in many places in my short life.   We have lived in Texas twice (which I love) , Florida, Oklahoma, and Africa (for 4 years).   My parents were missionaries. My brave parents took us on that wonderful adventure.   Don't know how they did it!  CRAZY  You think this Corona Virus was bad Try taking 5 children under 10 to Africa.    No medical help to speak of.  My brother and I both had Malaria while we were there.  Got into all kinds of things and trouble.  We had a monkey, carrier pigeons a dog, & chickens.   Getting a hamburger was quite a process in itself.  Had to find the cow, kill it ground up the meat, make the bun, make the ketchup, mustard,  grow the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers (and make pickles) and if you want cheese had to milk the cow or goat and make yourself.    So not much cheese to be had.    No small task.  LOADS of stories from that time in my life.   I moved to Topeka when I was starting College.  Graduated from Washburn University with an Associates degree in Computer Science and a Bachelors in Accounting.    I met my husband in College and we have been married for 34 years.    My husband was born and raised in Topeka his whole life.   Our favorite thing is to travel.  I gave him the travel bug.   God gave us this great big world and it is so awesome to see it all.   We usually take at least one big trip a year.  We were blessed with 2 wonderful children.  A daughter who is 25 and lives in Chicago in the downtown loop.  She went to Kstate and got her masters in Business and is a hotshot with a large Corporation making serious money.   Our Son is 22 and still lives at home with us.   He is still trying to figure out his spot in life.   (Boys take a little longer)   But he will get it as well.   I was a stay at home mom till I started real estate in 2004.   I have only been at Coldwell Banker.   I love the CBAH family.   We are the BEST.   I love my job.   
Please stay safe and may God bless you all!
Annette
