Does it upset you when strangers reach and touch your baby with out even asking!?

Question

It honestly upsets me. I don’t understand how someone I’ve never met thinks they have a right to touch my infant. I don’t know where their hands have been, if they even wash them after they use the restroom or if they are sick! I would NEVER reach and touch anyone else’s infant. And please tell me why people get offended when I ask them to sanitize if they want to touch/hold my baby 😒

Answer

Or when people think it’s okay to KISS THEM?!

Answer

I’ve never understood why people think it’s acceptable to touch a stranger at all regardless of their age. I wouldn’t walk up to some woman at the store and touch her, why would it be ok to do it to a baby? Kept your grimy hands away from me and my child 🙄

Answer

I have been very forward (and I have social anxiety) and said “excuse me No thank you” and put my hand in between theirs and my baby. You never know what someone else’s hygiene is and I’m never willing to risk it. 
I don’t mind them looking and the ooo’s and ahhhh’s but Don’t Touch. 
I’ve had one lady that actually tried to dismiss me and say “oh hun I’m clean, she’ll be fine” and I said “that’s wonderful but I said no thank you politely.” While giving a look of -don’t you dare tempt me, I will beat you if you go to touch her again.- 🤨 
I’ll never understand why people just go in to a strangers space and touch their belongings... 🤔

Answer

My friend had a lady walk up and try to take her baby out of the shopping cart while she was ordering a cup of coffee at the store.

Answer

Yeah I’ve stuck out my hand and told people “no thank you, you’re a stranger”. I think the word stranger stops people sometimes because we like to drill in stranger danger to children. 
But good lord! People are stupid! Don’t touch another persons child!

Answer

Answer

Yes omg. Some lady who wreaked of cigarettes tried to touch my baby the other day. I was literally just super unfriendly and walked away. I’m really not a rude person but I’m not taking any chances with my daughter getting sick.

Answer

I don’t remember being too bothered by it until I had a preemie. Now I definitely notice it!

Answer

Lol but yet people look at me weird when I say, "Can I touch/hold your baby? Lol cause I hated when people would grab my daughter feet and touch her hair, or try to grab her out of my arms without asking first.
