Am I overreacting?
I have a 5 month old son and he loves to swing outside with me. The neighborhood I live in is super quiet with not a lot of traffic at all. So I'm swinging with my son as we always do when its nice out and this old guy in a walker comes into view on the street. I thought no big deal, I've never seen him before but I'm not close to any of my neighbors. But this guys stops in the road across from my house and sits on his walker. I figured he was tired and needed a break. I turned my back to him to swing my son and felt like I was being watched. Sure enough I look over my shoulder and he's watching us and turns away when I see him. We do this 4 more times in the matter of a few minutes so I get up and go inside. I tell my husband and he went out to sit in the lawn chairs and his bother and friend came over at the same time he went out (they were already on their way to pick up my husband and go shoot some pool). Well I was watching out the window and as soon as the old guy saw 3 6ft+ men talking in the yard he up and left the way he came from. I'm creeped out! Did he stop to watch me and my son? I've never dealt with this in my neighborhood. My niece(6) and nephew(10) come over 2-3 times a week because I watch them for my SIL. They play outside half the time and I have never seen that man before. Obviously the old guy is using a walker and it would be very easy to get away from him but still I have goosebumps. I'm a SAHM my husband works 6 days a week for 11-12 hours a day. I feel like I have to stay cooped up in the house now. I dont know what his intentions were, was he just old and enjoyed seeing the next generation? Or was he thinking something absolutely disgusting about my son? Am I just paranoid?
