My daughter would go to anyone too, but I try my best to keep a barrier between her and strangers! I would never hold a stranger's baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046795 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:18:16 +0000 autumn865 1046795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would have freaked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046788 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:16:01 +0000 jmarionsmith 1046788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, that's a little crazy! thankfully my lo would neverrrr go to a stranger. but i would definitely take issue with someone i don't know trying to hold my baby, whether lo was willing or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046758 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:09:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 1046758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran into a friend of my mom's a few weeks ago and that happened, but I didn't mind because I knew her. I don't know what I would have done if it were a stranger. That's so bizarre. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046718 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:02:01 +0000 heffalump 1046718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank goodness my LO has stranger anxiety and would scream her head off if someone did that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046155 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:03:18 +0000 Boheme 1046155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Nope, didn't even stir! Thank goodness... DH and I were starving, and DS needed the nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046123 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:57:38 +0000 swurlygurl 1046123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: While asleep?? Wow... hopefully he didn't wake up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046117 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:56:13 +0000 swurlygurl 1046117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @mrskc: @Grace: @grizz: Okay, good, I'm glad I wasn't overreacting then! That was definitely something new! I feel awkward picking up the baby at daycare that I see every day, and I know his parents decently well! </p> <p>I'm going to chalk it up to being one of the weird 'Grandma' things, but I'll definitely be on my guard next time... try to make sure I keep DD's hands occupied</p> <p>@wheres_c: So weird! Boundaries people... boundaries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046102 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:51:53 +0000 wheres_c 1046102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has happened to me twice....once by a hardware store employee, once by my doctors assistant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046089 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:48:26 +0000 Boheme 1046089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would freak out! That's so weird. I've noticed a lot of older ladies, strangers and not, have questionable boundaries with babies. We were eating at CFA yesterday and an older lady came and tickled DS in his carseat - he was asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046088 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:47:07 +0000 Grace 1046088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that's weird. Usually if a baby does that, I would just grab their hand or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046087 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:47:04 +0000 mrskc 1046087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ack! That would make me super uncomfortable. I'm not sure what I would have done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046081 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:45:17 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1046081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have at least asked "do you mind?" But then again I wouldn't want to hold a baby I didn't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046073 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:42:52 +0000 pui 1046073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh that is definitely weird! I would be pretty uncomfortable if that happened to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-strangers#post-1046070 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:41:19 +0000 swurlygurl 1046070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at Costco last night, and a nice older lady started talking to DD while DH was putting the mountain of groceries on the checkout lane. She was doing the normal the normal baby talk, gushing over her cuteness, which is fine. Then, DD reached her arms out to the lady (she's the friendliest baby I've ever seen!), and the lady took her out of my arms!</p> <p>I was shocked. I wasn't sure if it was actually crazy, or just weird, or totally normal. Thankfully she gave her back after a minute, but that was a really long minute!</p> <p>Anyone else have crazy strangers grab babies out of your arms? Was that crazy, or normal? </p>
