I've heard stuff like this happening, but I haven't seen it myself. Who am I to judge this mother for not weaning her daughter? She seems to believe very much that what she is doing is the right thing and best for her child's well-being. To that, I say let science and psychology decide that one.
However, I do imagine a potential tug-of-war between mother and daughter. The mother believes eventually the breast-feeding will stop and that her daughter's desire to grow up will overcome her need for milk. On the other hand, the daughter can't imagine ever getting weaned. She wants to continue forever.
Now I know most of you are going to say the mother's expectation is logical. But what if it doesn't happen? What if her daughter really does want to be breast-fed at the age of 24? That sounds insane, I know, but this blog would not exist if such events did not happen.
Suspend your disbelief for a moment. What if another documentary is made 16 years later about the daughter still being breastfed?
