Do you hate when people other than you or DH Kiss your baby ?? I don't like it at all !
-
It depends on who it is. I have a couple friends who I don't mind kissing her. Other people...
-
It doesn't bother me...only MIL and my mom do it!
-
YES! Everybody other than DH or myself needs to keep their lips to themselves!
-
I never thought it would bother me pre-LO, but it does. That's MY baby
-
Ugh, no one does this to my LO and I'm so glad! I would freak out. My SIL let my LO drink out of her cup a couple weeks ago and I had to sit on my hands to not grab the cup out if her hands. I'm a little crazy about germs, but I'm trying really hard to relax.
-
Oohh... I never thought about this! I sometimes kiss my friends' babies... is that bad?
Their cheeks are just so cute and kissable!
-
Family I wouldn't mind, even close (CLOSE) friends, but random people at church or something? Kinda grosses me out. Good way to spread germs around for sure!
-
LO isn't here yet so can't comment really, but I hope I've never upset anyone! I try to be careful about it and only kiss my nephews-- usually on the top of the head, too, not on the face. Anyone I'm not close to I wouldn't.
And well... if my nephew doesn't want to be kissed, he just shouldn't be so darn cute
-
Family and very very close friends, no. I love seeing them love on my baby. Strangers/acquaintances/not close friends yes.
-
It's funny because I don't think I would have thought of this before I was pregnant, but at my shower a girl brought her 3 month old and everyone was kissing him and touching his hands and then he'd put his hands in his mouth and I was cringing so hard! The mom didn't seem to care but I feel like I definitely will when it's my turn! It's just so hard to tell someone who is just loving on your baby to stop
-
I really don't mind others kissing my LO. Our daycare ladies do it all of the time. The only one person I have the biggest problem with doing that is my MIL. She's got some major boundary issues with our marriage and family. The way she behaves around my son is unsettling to me.
-
Yep! It really bothers me!!
-
if its certain close friends or family I dont mind
-
@cascademom: my MIL is the trigger for me on this too. I had to ask her to get out of his face after he was born
-
Close friends and family are fine. In the beginning (<1 month) i didn't like anyone but DH and i to kiss her.
-
@coacheswife123: Good to know that I'm not the only uncomfortable with their MIL's behavior. Even when they Skype, she baby talks to him. We've been working on language from day 1. I felt like the times she visited, it could have caused a regression because that's the only way she communicated to him. It was really unsettling. She's got a certain set of needs relating to her grandchild that are on another planet as far as I'm concerned. The kissing goes along with it. My LO doesn't roll for her during Skype calls either. I tend to think that he has a bullshit meter and sees hers.
-
@cascademom: hahaha! You are NOT alone!! Mine tried to bite LOs nails off when he was 2 days old. I lost it.
-
It doesn't bother me, though I haven't had anyone that's not family try to kiss her yet.
-
@coacheswife123: Ick, my MIL recounted how she did that with my DH and BIL. Seriously, having a grandchild brought out all of the old creepy stories of what she did with DH and BIL as babies.
-
It doesn't bother me at all, unless it's the creepy uncle who tries to kiss ME... LOL.
-
my two nephews live in the same house as their grandparents (my parents) as well as their parents (my brother and sil). everyone in that house kisses both boys, on the lips too. i feel yucky about kissing them on the lips now that they're no longer infants, so it's just cheek kisses for me.
i guess since they already set the precedent, my LO will most likely be getting kisses from the family too. i really hope just cheek kisses though.
-
It only bothers me when strangers have done it.
-
I don't mind at all! Mostly only family and friends kiss them...it would be weird if a stranger did though.
-
Umm, yeah.
The one non family member that kissed my baby, gave LO his first cold which then I had and then DH. Ugh!
I really don't want others kissing him but what would you say?
