I didn't let any strangers touch my babies.<BR/><BR/>Next time, tell the witches to get lost!!Lisa C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09151748612808427697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-47080710997701923552007-07-23T16:50:00.000-04:002007-07-23T16:50:00.000-04:00Motheratlarge-- You are so right, I think people ...Motheratlarge-- You are so right, I think people tend to be more assertive when it is just mother and child as opposed to mother, child AND father. <BR/><BR/>Once, when Oldest was a baby, we were out to eat and they were quite busy. A lady walked by us and grabbed Oldest' foot while she was sitting on Hubby's lap. Hubby moved baby to the other leg away from the lady and lady had the nerve to ask, "can't I say hello?" Hubby told her she could say Hi, but don't touch the baby. How would SHE like it if he touched HER baby? She had such a look on her face!<BR/><BR/>Coffee-- Most of the incidents happened in the Northern Virginia area where people are supposedly college educated and urban.. apparently not. The incident in the food store with the Old Lady was in town where we live now-- West Virginia.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-71232132142500304262007-07-23T16:22:00.000-04:002007-07-23T16:22:00.000-04:00Who are these people who live around you?

It freaks me out though. In a grocery store yesterday I bent down to pick up a newspaper, and as I straightened up I saw a strange man touching my daughter's foot, as she sat in her buggy! I don't think he meant any harm, but I find it intrusive and upsetting. If some nutter came up to me and started touching my feet I'd tell them where to do. I didn't say anything but quickly moved away. It happens MUCH less when I'm with my husband. I suspect some of these characters know they can get away with this stuff when it's mum and baby on their own. Poor you. It's a horrible feeling.Motheratlargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702824820715807897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-66092785809491218712007-07-22T23:39:00.000-04:002007-07-22T23:39:00.000-04:00I can just imagine how excited #3 would be to see ...I can just imagine how excited #3 would be to see people and want to play and hug and you having to rein him in. With 3 little girls, I feel like I have to be extra careful against the creeps and weirdos out there. At least I've got Oldest to check with me first before she runs off towards a stranger's open arms. Middle is too shy to accept a hug from strangers, and Youngest is held firmly in my arms, heavy though she is.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-83817337644987345582007-07-22T12:55:00.000-04:002007-07-22T12:55:00.000-04:00People are more careful not to touch kids they don...People are more careful not to touch kids they don't know over here but number 3 with his disability has absolutly no awarness of 'stranger danger' and will approach anyone, and we have our fair share of wierdos.

I didnt want dirty hands on her getting her sick so I would dodge away. They would give me dirty looks like THEY were offended I didnt want them to touch my baby. Seems like it has happened with all 3 of my girls. I don't get it. *shaking head*jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-968331715895759032007-07-22T03:37:00.000-04:002007-07-22T03:37:00.000-04:00I don't get this asking for a hug.

There is a lot of touching of pregnant women's bellies though which I believe is a horrible invasion of privacy too. I don't know how to explain it and I certainly don't blame you or your husband for trying to protect your children. If nothing else, who knows where those hands have been, right?Krissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620291759637369340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-14478002640422732622007-07-21T11:34:00.000-04:002007-07-21T11:34:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
