Why do strangers think it's ok to touch your baby?

[Shibby]

It seems like everywhere we go people want to touch my son's head and grab his hands. They talk to you for a minute or whatever and say how cute he is. Talking to him or whatever and touching him. Hell some people even ask if they can hold him.

I guess you can say it's human instinct to show affection to cute and cuddly little ones. Like puppies and kittens people want to pet or hold them. I really don't see a problem with it as long as the people look clean enough, not coughing or sneezing in their hands, or putting their hands near my sons mouth. In your case...it might be they see that his dad has dressed him up in the ugliest Green Bay outfit and feel bad for him.:P

If someone wants to hold your baby you should sucker-punch him in the throat, that'll show him!
It's safest to assume that everybody out there is out to get you and your children, because you can't trust anybody.
If someone is looking in your direction, he probably wants to pick a fight!

I have people trying to do that junk all the time. I think people forget themselves when they see a child. It bothers me to no end and this may seem rude, but I will stop people in mid-motion before they get too close to one of my children. I can't help but feel over protective and predatory when my children are with me. Which is about 99% of the time.
