How old is he?
I'm maybe the bad parent, but an old lady? Yeah I probably would. We have an old lady in our complex who is very fond of my boys and speaks to my toddler when she's outside with her dog. If my baby reached for her and she asked I might just let her. I guess this is something you'd have to use your best judgement with. Like there's some neighbors we have who are sketchy as hell. I wouldn't let them.
Absolutely not but I also don’t think she was a threat , it’s just not worth that 0.01% chance.
No, and not even from a safety standpoint but a health one. People tend to think oh my cold isn’t too bad. So I just don’t know them to know they aren’t sick. My son got sick from a family member recently and got admitted for respiratory failure. So I’m definitely not taking that chance with a random.
@Katherine 10 months
One of my biggest regrets is letting the woman who was registering my daughter hold her. She knew my FIL so was chatting with my partner, he handed our 3 week old baby over, and she kissed her straight on the lips!!! You would of thought someone in charge of registering new babies would know better!
@Grace that's so sweet
@Annie definitely one of those memories that will always bring tears to my eyes. Flying with kids is hard and you always get nasty looks when you board with littles. But she was such an amazing reminder that there's good people in our corner!
It really depends on vibes I let a lady who i only met once when I was 8 hold him for over an hour because she was giving off good energy and we were sitting together talking
If they aren't smokers and they ste friendly yes. I struggled with getting a healthy live baby with years of IVF and surrogacy and I would have been over the moon if anyone offered. I prob would have cried the whole day after. So now I hand my baby to all the sparkle eyed people and I turn them so people can see them better who try to look, just incase they were in my shoes.. and 2 days ago a older lady was smiling and i offered and she started crying while holding.. found out her son died a month ago and she thanked me so much. You just never know what they are going thru and babies are healing.
@Chandra oh my gosh that's so hard. We know a man at our church who lost his grandson who was a few months older than my son. It was very unexpected and very tragic. Now every time my son runs over to shake his hand and that older man looks so delighted I think of that.
i personally wouldn’t because you never know a stranger’s intentions
