I never had a random touching, but a lot of Mexican women would talk to me and then touch cheesejr's foot because of the ojo. It was a cultural thing for them but we always had conversations about how they didn't want the evil eye on him after they said he was cute. After the first time I was okay with it and it was always a leg or a foot.
Discussion
I could be okay with strangers touching if they made conversation first. the fact that this lady was being all sneaky was so creeeeeppppyyy
Yeah, rando creepy walk by touching is wild. At least explain your need for touching a child. I love babies and will talk or wave but no touching.
I used to be indifferent to babies before taro but now when I see babies younger than taro I melt a little inside. so tiny and cute π₯°
π― Babies change you.
absolutely. I remember a few days after we came back from the hospital, I noticed the windshield was SO DIRTY. like, how can you see out of this thing?
the windshield had been in the same state for weeks leading up to taro's birth but once he was here I was like "oh no no no, this is unsafe!!!β
Same. I saw having a baby as a necessary step to having a child, and really thought I wasnβt going to have much fun with her until she turned 7 or so. Boy was I wrong π
I'm the other way around. I really looked forward the newborn and the baby stages. Still do β€οΈ
I'm kind of scared of the little kid phase, especially now there will be three boys. I'm planning to embrace the chaos and fart jokes π
We started the fart jokes really early here π
I am absolutely that weird mom in the check out line waving at the baby in the cart in front of me but I'd NEVER take it upon myself to touch someone else's child without saying something to the parent. I have, however, put my whole body in front of a toddler running for an exit without a parent visible on more than one occasion and actually snatched one up for that reason when I was at work at the library.
