Dont KISS my babies!

Ok, when I take my girls out, quite often people will come up, coo, and touch thier hands. I have never liked the idea of this, especially seeing as my girls were always getting sick the first 6 months of their life!!
My dad usually helps when I go out, he loves to show them off to people, and he is no good at telling people not to touch my kids! But we had a talk about it, and he said he wouldnt let it happen any more.
The other day, we were at wallmart, I was returning something and I had one of my girls with me, and my dad had the other, he was talking with one of the employee's. When I looked over, this woman was actually KISSING!!! my baby!!! WTF!!!??? Whats worse is he let her, he is so passive and so afraid to offend someone, that he will let a stranger KISS my baby???? OMG!!
I was soooo mad at him!!

Thanks for listening to my rants!

 

:shok: :bad: Oh my! I would be pissed off too if some stranger was kissing my baby. My dad would surely hear about that one. Is there anyway you could talk to him about it again?? Maybe throw in " don't let it happen or I'll get someone else to help me" in there. I don't think it's very healthy to have kids kissed by strangers, especially at a young age..or any age. :bad: But that's my opinion.

Ew...I can't believe people do this. I have never had to deal with that and I can't imagine people actually doing that - Don't people think?! She must have thought she'd get away with it without you being right there!

Yup you said it!
I did have a talk with him, as soon as we got in the car! I asked him if he would have wanted that woman kissing him? He said "no way" so I told him "THEN DONT LET HER KISS MY BABY"! I told him to never let it happen again.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets all up in arms about people touching my babies. One lady actually pulled down the cover of the stroller to touch one of ours, and then proceeded to ask if she could hold her. My brother was watching one while I went into the dr.'s office with the other, and she actually asked HIM if she could hold her, after I said no! Luckily, he told her no (he's only 14 but pretty protective of his nieces!)

 

Oh you poor thing!! Your poor baby! I would have also added "now what if she comes down with a sickness because of this, wouldn't you feel horrible?". OMG!!!! Just the thought of that would set me over the edge. Maybe your dad just needs to stay in the car...LOL!

 

You need to give him something funny to say that won't sound too awkward but still gets the point across. I said once to a stranger trying to kiss and touch the babies "No no...we prefer no touching...or you at least need to buy us a drink first" smiled and moved on with the conversation - she didn't touch them so I guess she got the point. Or "Sorry, we save baby touches for family only". DUH! People are strange. I can't imagine touching someone elses baby.

 

Yep... I know what you mean! Touching their hands is bad enough... but kisses... from strangers!?

 

We need t-shirts that say:

DON'T TOUCH
DON'T KISS
DON'T WAKE THEM UP
DON'T PARK NEXT TO ME
DON'T ASK ME HOW I GOT THEM
and YES, THEY ARE TWINS! (DUH)

 

:shok: I can never understand what goes through some people's minds that makes them think something like that is ok?!?

LOL :rotflmbo: I love this!!!!!

I had one lady who I thought was gonna take my baby from me while I was out shopping. I turned my back on her so she could see him and not take him. It took me a long time and a lot of effort to get these bubs and everyone can just BACK OFF in my opinion.
I would have said something to her, like 'Do you mind' and given her a glare, snatched the baby and stormed off. LOL.
Love what you said to your Dad Caily. I bet that got your point across.

 

Ew, GROSS! That is WAY over the line! I would have gone totally ballistic. :girl_devil:

 

thats nasty!! I had an experience once where DH, me and the twins were at my parents restaurant...when in the restaurant (it was open 25 years so we had plenty of regular customers that have known me since I was 8 ) if someone would ask if they could hold one of the babies we'd let them - if it was a regular customer...anyway this one day the one customer wouldn't give DS back to either my dad OR my DH - my dad finally told her we were leaving (which we were nearly ready to anyway) and Tony had to basically wrench the baby out of her arms! everytime DH or my dad went to reach for the baby she'd turn around out of the way - DS was SCREAMING! she never came back into the restaurant after that!

wtf is wrong with people?

 

EW... !!

Um... isn't kissing how cold sores and such can spread?

 

EEEHHH People suffer from verbal vomit and lack of self-control around babies. It’s like comment since gets checked at the stroller. I hate it when people try to man handle my babies. I too had some one pull open the canopy on my stroller and then she pulled down the blanket and started groping at my DD, the nerve. I have gotten to the point now where if I see someone looking from a distance if I am not in the mood to go through the “yes they are twins, no the are not frats., etc” I just dive down a aisle and keep moving. My husband loves the attention and will stop to talk to people and my older DS loves drawing attention to “his twins” and my sounds a lot like you dad in that she would never tell people no….think next time I will try the “would you like it” line on her, that is great.
