That it's unfortunate that other people (I believe it wasn't him that was uncomfortable, but other family asking him to take care of the 'problem') feel so awkward around a woman using her breasts as they are intended to be used. That breasts have been oversexualized in this country too much. He said something along the lines of "oh no, it's not like that". I don't know how it was taken, if he mentioned it to anyone else. I do know that we used to go to that house quite often, and now do very rarely. It's a shame, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
