As soon as Jackie and her husband entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a young waitress. She kept smiling at her husband the whole night, and Jackie was losing her patience.
As soon as she left the table to breastfeed her son, the server approached her husband and slipped him a note. What was she thinking when she did that? Jackie felt betrayed and hurt when she read the note.
It Was Her Birthday
With Jackie's birthday approaching, she decided to take her husband Tom out for dinner.
Jackie put on a nice red dress and red lipstick, and prepared her children for the evening. She was excited to spend some time with her husband outside the house. But she had no idea she would be crying by the end of the night...
Her Husband Was Attractive
Jackie was aware that her husband was attractive, and women frequently flirted with him in front of her. But she always trusted him, and she knew that he loved her.
But when she saw what the waitress wrote in her note, she started having doubts about their marriage.
He Was Acting Distant Towards Her
Over the last few weeks, Jackie noticed that her husband had been acting distant towards her and their children.
He was coming home later than usual and would go straight to bed. Initially, Jackie assumed he was just stressed, so she decided to take him out for dinner to brighten his mood. Oh, how wrong she was!
The Day Of
Jackie and Tom didn't find anyone to look after their children for their date night, so they decided to celebrate all together at a local restaurant.
They got seated and ordered four pizzas to share.
The Waitress Was Smiling At Her Husband
Jackie immediately noticed that their waitress was trying to catch her husband's attention. She was constantly smiling and looking at him.
A few minutes after the food arrived, Jackie decided to feed her newborn. She looked through her bag, but the bottle was nowhere to be found.
She Couldn't Find The Bottle
She figured that she must've forgotten the bottle in the bathroom.
It was only a matter of time before her baby started crying, and Jackie didn't want to disturb other guests. So, she rushed to the bathroom to look for the baby bottle. As soon as she left the table, the waitress made her move.
She Started Breastfeeding Her Son
Jackie took her baby with her, who was already crying and started breastfeeding him at the restaurant. She sat at another table as far away from everyone else as possible.
Jackie felt all the eyes on her, but she couldn't do anything about it. The baby was hungry. It was then that she noticed the waitress slip her husband a note.
She Gave Him A Note
While Jackie was nursing the baby, Tom asked for the bill. But instead, the waitress handed him a handwritten note.
You can only imagine Jackie's reaction when she saw Tom smiling at the waitress with the note in his hand. Her husband had never flirted with other women in front of her before. What was going on?
Her Heart Sank
When Jackie returned to the table, she immediately picked up the note and began reading it.
Her heart sank, preparing for the worst. Was her husband cheating on her?
Breastfeeding Is Completely Normal
"I bought one of your pizzas. Please thank your wife for breastfeeding!" the note read.
The waitress wasn't flirting with her husband, she just wanted to support Jackie and other moms like her. Breastfeeding is completely normal, and no one should feel embarrassed by doing it in public.
She Breastfeeded Three Children
"I have breastfed three children... I have breastfed them in countless places, both pleasant and unpleasant, discreetly and out in the open," said Jackie.
"I have gotten many looks and stares, but tonight erases any negativity I have ever received."
They Were Eating At Fongs
Jackie went on to say, "I ate at Fongs for the first time tonight. Having a fussy baby, I nursed him for a while in the booth and eventually left the table early as to not disrupt the restaurant."
"The waitress gave this receipt to my husband. I was speechless and emotional. " Jackie felt guilty for thinking that her husband was cheating on her.
It Felt Amazing
"Although I don't need a pat on the back for feeding my child, it sure felt amazing," she continued.
"It is amazing how we women can make each other feel when we empower each other."
Women Should Support Eachother
Her story instantly went viral, with people liking and resharing her post.
"We need to come together and support each other when it comes to nursing our children," Jackie said in an interview.
