Random twitchy post
It's been hot here for the past few days. Little one still loves to cuddle most of the night. I'm tired after yet another sweaty cuddle-puddle night.
Things that make me twitchy are on my mind
*when smokers try to touch my daughters hands or face
*when strangers touch her hands or face. I don't mind if they touch her leg or head though
*pjs that don't match her grobag
*when my husband asks "are you sure..." when I've decided something. I'm not sure if he's trying to learn or micromanage. I will have to ask. Todays was "are you sure she can have that" after I picked up a soother (in our home) and handed it back to her. I said, she touches the carpet with her hands and then sucks on her fingers. Yup it's ok. Or when he says "she's got stuff on her cheek" -- um them get a cloth and help out...
What's your twitchy list?

Re: Random twitchy post
omg the strangers touching babies face, that urks me, i commented on a stay at home mom's post about it and got flamed for it
You and me both--we must have responded to the same thread. I don't like strangers touching my child period though.
i got flamed hardcore about it, and by two people, so disrespectful, to those people i will say this......would you want someone to come up to you and start touching you, cause i know i don't, makes me super uncomfortable, and you don't know where people's hands have been, soo gross, im not a germaphobe, but man it urks me that people think babies are 'play things' (to use a better word)
*I CAN'T STAND when older women say things like "I've had babies". I know what they really mean is "you're wrong and overreacting". I KNOW you've had babies...but the way you raise your child and the way I want to raise mine might be totally different.
*I hate when people make pushy comments about babies. Like "he wants to get up and walk". Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't...let him decide that and work at his own pace.
*I also get "twitchy" when the inlaws come and pretend to "steal" DS when the leave from a visit. It's not cute, it's not funny...
I'm with you. People seem to think babies are free game to do whatever they want. I know DS has been poked at several times in public. I think it's rude and disrespectful. In today's world it's borderline creepy.
*When people let DS gnaw on their fingers. I'm not even talking about strangers here. My mom always lets him do it. I let him do it to but I KNOW where my hands have been and when I washed them last. Yes I know my mom washes her hands, but certainly not right before he starts eating them. I just find it gross. "He likes it"
He likes anything he can gnaw on! Give him a toy. I might be over reacting but its just one of those things that irks the crap out of me.
*When strangers touch his hands
*When people talk in "his voice' to tell me how to do things
*When my mom rolls her eyes or makes comments after I have given her "instructions" when she watches him. I know she thinks that I'm too detailed, but just freakin humor me and listen. Think whatever you want in your head but let me get my point across. I get that she raised two kids, but this isn't your kid.

I don't like it when people make their kids give hugs and kisses. Kids' bodies belong to themselves and they need to set their own boundaries.
I can't stand aggressive/threatening driving.
I get twitchy when my people tell me LO needs to be wearing socks. It is 100 degrees out!
When people tell me my baby is hungry because he's nomming on something.
I'm also not thrilled when strangers come up and touch him, hold his hand or whatever... primarily because I wear him when out in public, so if they're in his space then they're in MY space and I intensely dislike personal space invaders.
Ummm, also, at the risk of making this response super long, my nephew was a super happy baby like my DS is and he was always getting attention. My SIL also always wore him when she was out (I have her hand-me-down Beco). Since her DS was always getting so much attention, she paid no mind to someone who came up behind her and touched her DS until her DS started screaming. The person who "touched" her DS was a special needs person and he BIT his toe and drew blood. It was horrifying, maybe a totally random event, but there are crazy a** people in this world and I don't trust any of them around my DS. I mean, who bites a baby's toe and draws blood? But it happened and she had to take him to the doctor for testing and shots ... because who knows what that crazy guy had?
ETA: My nephew is now 6 and is totally fine, but still, that kind of weird stuff creeps me out.

Bummer. I'm sorry. But Happy Anniversary!
I get twitchy when my mom says "she must have a tummy ache."
Also, when DD is fussy because she is tired or whatnot and someone says "A little grumpy today, are we?" I want to turn around and punch them in the face. The last person that told me that has a DD that throws temper tantrums on the floor multiple times a day. Seriously, you're calling my DD grumpy?
Totally agree on the strangers touching B making me twitchy.
Pushy comments on what my son wants when he starts to fuss make me twitchy. If I hear "he's hungry" right after he's finished an eight ounce bottle one more time...
Right at this moment- my whole family is making me twitchy. I kind of want to take the battery out of my cell phone.
