Don't touch my baby!

[curlymonkey]

What's wrong with people when they see my (OK cute) baby and can't help grabbing his hands or touching his cheeks. Have you washed your hands? You have touched door knobs, elevator buttons, your car keys, your cell phone, shaking hands, eating maybe and some other stuff I don't even want to know! The worst is when they are ready to let my baby suck on their finger!!! I hate that and don't know how to respond to it nicely. With my daughter, everybody wanted to touch her hair ( it still happens and she's 4 yo). I just don't like when strangers approach my kids to touch them. I could bite!

Suck on their finger? I'd punch someone in the face.

It drives me nuts. Some gross looking women in walmart rubbed Becka's face when she was a baby! I was so pissed! Becka was in the sling!

I don't understand why people feel the need to touch babies. It's rude and people are gross!

I couldnt agree with you more. I hate to shake people hands these day I don't know what they have been doing, touching ect.. In my opinion it is disrespectful I understand ppl like to ooh and aww but let that be it.
