Would you take a muffin from someone's hands without asking? The book they're reading? Why would you take someone's child without saying a word? It's so weird and creepy. At least put your hands out and say something, like "come here." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353904 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:49:27 +0000 Mommy Finger 2353904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family usually takes and it doesn't bother me. Everyone else asks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353551 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:37:53 +0000 Mamasig 2353551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even remember. I think a lot of the older family members just took. I didn't care. It gave me a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353485 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:06:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 2353485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most ask, I think one older woman family member "took" from a cousin without asking but it was family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353470 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 08:54:32 +0000 autumnlove 2353470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They ask or I offer/beg. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353430 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 08:22:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2353430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people ask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353411 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:39:02 +0000 catomd00 2353411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually offered before they asked. I don't recall anyone just taking her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353403 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:27:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2353403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: if I stopped to switch sides or burp she'd grab the baby. It was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353390 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 06:43:17 +0000 Torchwood 2353390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin took LO out of DH's lap a couple weeks ago, and was visibly irritated when I made him go get her back when it made her cry. A- LO is at a stage where she notices who's holding her and gets upset if it's a stranger, so ffs don't just snatch her from behind (when she's happy and playing with daddy!) with no warning to her. B- If she were crying because she's hungry or something, I'd just give you the bottle. But I'm not leaving her to cry just because you want to hold her, when all she wants is to go back to daddy (or mommy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2353324 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 23:16:09 +0000 MrsSRS 2353324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: wth? How is that even possible? Who does that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352882 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 16:15:29 +0000 mrsrain 2352882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure everyone would ask. And I would totally say no sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352844 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:53:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2352844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone but MIL asked and she would take even if I was nursing. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352793 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:36:09 +0000 travelgirl1 2352793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people ask or I offer. I found DH's older relatives in Spain would just take though. We rarely see them so it's not such a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352747 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:24:34 +0000 blackbird 2352747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People usually ask but I readily offer T up to family/friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352701 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:15:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 2352701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352697 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:14:33 +0000 Thrifty Mama 2352697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People usually ask. My son is older now though, and when he wants to be held he puts his arms up. Some people think that's an invitation to hold him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352657 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:01:22 +0000 Mrs. D 2352657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was so clingy to me that she was nearly always in my arms, so everyone had to ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352650 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:58:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2352650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually offer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352643 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:55:32 +0000 FaithFertility 2352643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone alwayed asked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352634 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:50:45 +0000 JenGirl 2352634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People always ask. In fact, I usually offer, becasue I can see that someone wants to hold him but doesn't want to ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352628 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:48:36 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2352628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone always asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352607 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:34:31 +0000 bushelandapeck 2352607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think anyone I know would take the baby from me without asking. I can't think of any instances where someone picked the baby up without asking DH or I either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352586 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:26:49 +0000 Alivoo01 2352586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People our age would ask. Older generation would just take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-people-ask-to-hold-your-baby#post-2352524 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:55:19 +0000 Bao 2352524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or did they just pick them up/take them from you? Most people would ask, but some people would just take and it would drive me crazy. So I always ask if I can hold a baby before I just grab! </p>
