    Oh yes. Also do not touch the bellies of pregnant women. That's just super creep. Even if you are cute and old. DON"T DO IT!

    Hahaha. I agree for sure. I have never avoided so many older people in my life except for when my son was a newborn. I felt like I had to constantly fight them off. I know they mean well, but at least have the respect to ask first...

    Totally agree with the no touching babies or prego bellies. I would cringe when people would stroke my child's hair, touch them or in my son's case he would get his little cheeks pinched by total strangers. People please be considerate.

    Yeah. So Yeah. When my kids were babies (2 years apart). I was an even worse germ-ma-phob then I am now. It would drive me crazy when random old folks felt the need to touch them while I was grocery shopping, etc.

    This happened to me so much when I was pregnant. I finally got so angry, I started touching their bellies back.

    "What? You don't like that? Well, why on earth are you touching mine then?!" Problem solved.

    Also, don't touch my children, and get off my lawn! :angry:

    I just firmly correct people who think it's okay to walk up and touch my kids. They need to learn somehow.

    It's creepy when ANYONE comes up and touches kids...or pregnant bellies.

    Im guessing this is meant to be funny, but seriously whats wrong with people being friendly, must be a generation or dare i say northern thing cause here in the south i dont think people feel this way, exception is if your just actually creepy, smelly unclean, or emotionally unbalanced young or old. For me personally im more worried about catching something from a kid and dont go near them, like dont had me your baby or let your sticky fingered kid grab my had either, as far as pregnant bellys thats a no zone period.

    they are trying to take thier youth juice when they do that. that's what i always think.

    there may have been a twilight episode about this or something unsure where i got this idea.

    but yeah everytime an old person touched my kid i was like

    cheek brush, there goes one year from his life span
    arm nudge, there go six months
    wink, a week
    OH NO she's going in for a hug, heck no! i'm not letting you take a whole decade...and I'd whisk him off and say he's been sick.

    Touching someone's child or body isn't necessary for friendliness. I'd never walk up to a kid and pat/ruffle them or touch someone's baby without asking first. I'm originally from Kentucky. I consider it a personal boundary thing though. You don't know other peoples intentions and it's incredibly presumptuous of them to just decide your personal space doesn't need to be respected.

I didnt say it was necessary just not always creepy, but hey i have a hair salon and i deal with both elderly and baby totting clients never saw anyone get out of whack about it, i guess im not thinking of general just out in public like walmart type places. But i have been known to approach peoples dogs and always ask if its ok before i pet so id assume itd be the proper way with people too. And my personal boundary thing applies too people ,any age, up my butt when standing in lines but thats way off topic;)
