Comments from Target..sorry lauranicole:)

So I got one employee comment and one random older lady comment.

The old lady comments and says how precious my baby is and then says "you're so lucky"...for some reason I thought that was odd..I don't know. I'm weird when people make comments when I take my baby anywhere.

The Target employee guy...late twenties maybe..asks how old she is. I say "5 months"and he says "she looks chill". I say that she's very good and I probably just jinxed it. I try to joke around so I don't seem so annoyed when people stop and look at my child. He then proceeds to say, "6 months is horrible"...um thanks, dude for that lovely insight.

    Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't think twice about any of those comments.

    When I was about 8 months pregnant I had a customer say, "you're so lucky, I would kill for a baby". While it was kind of sad, it totally made me think twice. Although I also blame it on my watching too many lifetime movies and 20/20 episodes.

    I think the old lady comment is sweet. You are very lucky.

    I don't think these comments are offensive. People just love babies and people also sometimes say strange things. I would just smile and shrug it off.

    Now, Danielle's story about someone sticking a finger in her baby's mouth... that was offensive!

    I didn't think they were offensive...just odd.  Yes, if someone touched her, that would definitely be offensive. I cringed once when a random lady was touching her hands...now sticking their fingers in her mouth...ewww

    My comments are *always* about the hair. Where do they get the redhair from? I got so tired of answering (Um, ME?) that I finally just started saying, "The milkman."

    Yeah, not odd or offensive. It's something to get used to, once you have a baby/child random people will talk to you all of the time.
