Idk this message made me so uncomfortable 😣 am I overreacting?

I didn’t know the hardest part of being a parent is so much setting boundaries or ppl just saying weird things all the time maybe it’s also anxiety. Her saying she wants to bathe my baby and calling her my baby and I have to send her photos and videos. This is a friend. Overall even before this I find she’s kind of weird/awkward through text as opposed to in person. Just feeling annoyed n like I don’t want to answer am I overreacting ?

It’s incredibly weird asking to bathe someone else’s baby. I’d be freaked out too

Her msg did make me cringe. The bathing part …

If the message didn't have the bathing part, I wouldn't have thought anything about it. Me and my husband (my boys father) are the only ones who have ever bathed our children. I also find it strange that she said "my little baby" as if your child is hers. That possessive phrasing can be very dangerous going forward.

She might see your friendship more as a sisterly relationship, which could explain why she’s expressing affection and care for your baby. From her perspective, she may just be trying to show love and support, perhaps seeing your baby as hers in the way an aunt might. That said, when we become parents, it’s natural to feel more protective, especially if someone seems to be overstepping, even unintentionally. If your friendship with her isn’t particularly close, it’s absolutely fine to set boundaries to ensure your own comfort. Ultimately, it seems like she’s just trying to show care and appreciation, but it’s perfectly okay to make sure those expressions align with what feels right for you and your family.

the fact she has to ask if you’re comfortable means theres not such a good long bond between yall. so yes it is weird and keep her away from your child

Ew ew ewwwwww weird enough if it was a family member. Absolutely insane that it’s a friend who asked that 🤢

I just wouldn't entertain that. Don't want to be dramatic but women can be pedos as well as men.

Cut her off and protect your baby x

Lmao I have never ever desired to bathe someone’s baby chile 😂

She asked if your comfortable ...send her a photo. But...didn't think you'd be u comfy with letting her bathroom your child? I'd just say, "ha. Yeah no one is bathing my child besides myself and *insert partners name if involved*."
