All she wants is me to feed her when I am home!

Oh you poor thing. I went through this with DS between 18 and 24 months. I counted one day - 19 feeds!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't working or anything at the time and it drove me bananas. I eventually had to wean him because I was really getting upset and frustrated and also very resentful. (Poor DH copped it too, I was like, "WOULD EVERYONE JUST GET THE EFF OFF ME!!!"). So I can totally relate to how you're feeling.

I think for me, part of the resentment was the relentlessness of it. If I could just have an hour or two to sit down and relax without someone climbing on me, I felt a lot better. I reckon the opportunity to sit down and have a break once a day without having Jazz nag you for a feed might help.. Could Shell take her outside for an hour? Maybe then you could do the same in return - if you take her somewhere different, like a park, she'll run around and play and give you another hour's break from feeding.

I also found that refusing him made him ask more. Sometimes, as backwards as it seems, meeting his requests early in the day made for a better afternoon and I could decline him, distract him, put him off etc with more success.

Don't feel bad about the comment that she's fine when you're not there. Of course she is - your boobs aren't there to make her want them. It's not your fault, she's just trying to get in as much of her favourite activity as she can while the opportunity is there.

As for making it through the long weekend, I'd suggest getting out a lot, keeping busy, seeing different places. Anywhere but the couch/bed/whereever you usually sit when you feed her.
