Okay, time to vent. Wife stops by my office to pick up a shipping label I printed off for her, and she brings L. We stop by my desk and he smiles at some of my coworkers. Then we take him over to finance because one of our mutual friends works over there and she doesn't get to see him too often. We take him over and he sees our friend and isn't particularly interested in being held by anyone but Mommy/Daddy. He's also clearly getting tired. That doesn't stop the lady sitting in the cubicle next to our friend from walking over and holding out both of her gnarled ing witch hands and creepily asking to hold him, while he's fussing and making noise mind you.
First of all, bitch, who the even are you? I don't even know you, and you don't know me. You're just going to ask to hold a stranger's baby? Who the do you think you are? Not only did you ask once, you asked twice, even after seeing that he wasn't interested in being held and starting to squirm and fuss. The ing balls on not just this lady, but so many entitled old white ladies who think that every baby is their little ing plaything that they can just hold whenever they want to.
Want to interact with my child? Smile sweetly at him, wave, make some light baby talk, tell me he's adorable, and then right off to back whatever you were doing. My wife or I will be the ones who will offer you to hold said child. UGH dumb bitch get your nasty gnarled hands away from my baby goddammit :whip:

| So what did you actually do or say? |

He was fussing, so to calm him down and not totally ignore this lady I said "wave at the nice lady" but he wasn't having it. Yet she still insisted on holding him and stuck her hands out even closer, which is the time that I turned around and led him and my wife out of the office.
Maybe I'm wildly overreacting about this lady, but it's my strong personal opinion that you should not explicitly ask to hold someone else's child if you don't even know them. |

| I have and do, always, politely ask strangers not to touch my kid. |

| I get it. I wouldn't want anyone touching my kids if they were fuzzy or not having it. Many older folks do feel the tendency to do that though. Bless their farty-fart old hearts. But on the real, if you're not comfortable, then you did what was right for you at that moment. My 11 Yr old now looks straight at people and if they smile, he smiles back. If they are just looking at him because he's wearing his Rick and Morty hoodie - he smirks and goes: "you like it huh?" And smugs. I'm like you little ...stop learning from Daddy. LOL :stongue: Enjoy the babies/ toddlers times though! they are fun and sweet but I'll be honest, even my wife looked at me and said: Take my ovaries out before a 3rd one. We are ing DONE! So we closed the factory. We decided for birth control, but it only last 10 years, so I think its time for me to step up and snip this . |

| I can't believe it has been a year already. He's a little wild man and I know it's only going to get more stressful, yet I'm not worried about it because he's a joy to be around. |

| Are you planning on another? |

| Yeah, wife wants #2 sooner rather than later but I'm secretly putting it off as long as I can. I'm trying to max out at 2 because kids are ing expensive. |

I actually don't find it stressful at all. Which is why I'm not having another, lol.
Happy first birthday to your little man! |

| I mean, L gets really mood swingy. When he's happy he's so happy and when he's not, he's really not, and he'll let you know. He will stand in his crib and scream and cry even if he's tired and it's nap time. Just doesn't go down quietly. I wouldn't have him any other way, but he definitely wears his emotions on his sleeve. |

| Hahahah ohhh . Yeah, ours is very even tempered - again why I'm not having another. A second one might be more like me, lol. |

June is coming quick, I'll let you know how 2 goes. I am thinking our first was more like mom, much more even tempered and calm. I am thinking this boy is going to be a spaz like me.
We just got our first quote on finishing our basement, it was only like 2-3 times what we thought. :wtf: Time for more quotes! We are hoping to get an au pair living down there by aug. Might make 2 kids manageable and then I can get back to exercise. |
