Don't you hate and want to throw up when...

posvane · March 2012

1. People... strangers... touch your children, especially on their faces?!?! I mean really. A woman at a restaurant came up to DD2 (1yr) and tickled under her chin. Then came back and did it again with her arm reached all around her face. I wanted to THROW UP! It happened too fast to stop her.

2. Stupid people post stupid stuff on The Bump?!?!

Doodle2011 · March 2012

1. Yes, no touching please.

2. No, this is what keeps me entertained!

posvane · March 2012

True, true...

PrincessFiona9 · March 2012

I've never had a stranger try to touch DD. Usually they smile or wave to her or talk to her now that she's talking.

And no, the drama keeps me entertained LOL

I thought this post was about puke and how gross it is when your kid pukes on you and then you want to puke, too.

Yes, I needed to say puke that many times ... and yes my kid hurled on me an hour ago ... yuck.

posvane · March 2012

Yea.. puke sucks... luckily that has only happened once. Gotta love little ones!

To the above poster that's never had a rude person touch her child... omg you are luckily! I hope it never happens.

EmilyStL · March 2012

People say that if you wear your baby, strangers are less likely to touch them, but I had the worst episode ever of this when I had DD in the Ergo one time. The saleslady at JC Penney would NOT get off her. She even kissed her!

Is this a St. Paddy's Day drunk-bumping post?

CG, I get all happy and excited inside when I see your siggy. There will never be another doctor like him. Please don't ever change it... ever. That is all.

Ha! I'll have this one for at least 3 years. That's how long Mr. Darcy was in my siggy.

Yes, the 10th Doctor is the best doctor ever.

I guess I'm in the minority. I don't really hate it when people touch my kid. I mean, I don't love it or encourage it, but it doesn't really bother me THAT much.

And I love it when stupid people post.

One day me and my childs father went to go see a movie. We had one of our coworkers and his wife watch Sophia. We came to pick her up and our coworkers brother and his girlfriend were there. They are probably in their 60's.
I was sitting down talking to Sophia saying how I missed her. The brother's girlfriend leaned down and stuck her finger in my childs nose.. I almost flipped out on her. But I kept my cool and got the *** out of there. I was so pissed off.

It drives me absolutely bonkers when people touch him. He's a super friendly baby and smiles obnoxiously at anyone who looks at him so I guess it's inviting, but really... don't touch my damn kid with your nasty germy hands.

All of this. Strangers have touched my kid on many occasions and she has yet to explode. Maybe it's because she's in daycare and goes to child-frendly play places that I know are germ havens, but I just don't freak when the 60-year-old lady pats her head or the cool guy at the table next to us solicits a high five.

Yep this exactly! I was starting to think I one of my mommy genes was broken or something 'cause it doesn't even phase me.

numeria11 · March 2012

Oh and I forgot to add to my No, the only thing that really makes me want to puke is pretty much anything Santorum says, especially his "It makes me want to vomit..." comments. He makes me want to puke otherwise I have a pretty high bar for gag worthiness.

LilyRose28 · March 2012

I think only one or two people have ever touched DS. One was a young pregnant lady (not her first kid) who touched his hair when he was so fluffy and I think one guy wanted a high five from him.

Does this mean my child is unapproachable? Should I call the Pedi? LMK.

I agree. It doesn't bother me at all.

All of this! I think my permanent UO is that many parents these days are wayyyyy too over-protective of kids. Hate to use the "we did it and survived" argument but my goodness, how did any generations before our kids' survive before the invention of portable hand sanitized??!? Anyways....

Same. It doesn't bother me unless they are sick. But it's not like it happens often.

There is a HUGE difference in smothering a child who isn't yours and giving a high five.

Does not phase me either. DS seems to have inherited my strong immune system and does not get sick often ::knock on wood:: A co-worker's son is ALWAYS sick, he gets pneumonia every time he gets a cold. I can see how she would be overprotective of others touching her son.

citychicks · March 2012

1) I love babies. If I could snuggle other peoples kids maybe I wouldn't have had so many of my own... Huh? If touching my baby's head makes someones day then I don't really mind, especially since DS loves the attention as well. I do however draw the line at touching his mouth. I've had MIL and even strangers try to let my kid(s) knaw or suck on their fingers. Ick!

2) I love the dramaz.

AshasaurusRex · March 2012

1. No, as long as they're not sticking their fingers in my kids' mouths, then I'm okay.

2. No, stupid posts make me laugh. I like to laugh.

AimeeL85 · March 2012

I haven't had people try to touch DS too much, but lately when we are out in public he reaches out his hand to EVERYONE he sees as if he quite obviously wants them to touch his hand, too, so very often people will. That doesn't bother me because DS is initiating it, he's a friendly little guy.

KJmashup · March 2012

No.

I felt this way when he was newborn, but now, not so much. I wouldn't even be offended if someone picked him up, you know, as long as they give him back. I used to be completely freaked out about germs, and then I had a kid who went to daycare.

I learned quickly that he was going to pick up every germ known to man no matter how big I tried to make his Lysol & hand sanitizer bubble.

All of this. LO was born in November during the height of flu season and my paranoia of germs and LO getting sick basically kept him in the house until I had to go back to work in February. Then daycare happened.

I really don't mind people even strangers touching LO but I don't think it happens too frequently. He is very social though and will wander up to people and turn on his 100 watt smile.

As for people posting stupid things on the Bump, I usually find it amusing. If I find a post annoying I just ignore it.
