I figure I can just say that even even he is not sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-polite-way-to-say-dont-touch-my-baby#post-1141811 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 06:53:26 +0000 anonysquire 1141811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hands off the merchandise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-polite-way-to-say-dont-touch-my-baby#post-1141806 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 06:49:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1141806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I agree. "Please" makes everything sound nicer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-polite-way-to-say-dont-touch-my-baby#post-1141767 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 05:42:20 +0000 Dandelion 1141767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just say, "please don't touch my baby." You don't have to give a reason, and if they get offended, don't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-polite-way-to-say-dont-touch-my-baby#post-1141760 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 05:30:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1141760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only encountered it a few times and it's always been so quick I didn't have time to react, but if a stranger or someone you don't know well is about to touch your baby, is there a more polite way to tell them to back off than pulling away and smacking their hand? I know they are the rude ones trying to touch a strangers baby but still. </p>
