    Honestly, she shouldn’t even have to ask. A baby isn’t public property, people need to stop acting entitled to touch strangers children.

    Imagine thinking you can just touch a stranger’s baby without asking. Jeeeeeez.

    it’s one thing that she even had to make her initial post, but the fact that so many people went *into her DMs* to tell her she’s “wrong” is unbelievable.

  4. With antivaxx nonsense going mainstream, of course any parent is justified in wanting to be asked before a stranger touches their child. It’s a boundary that should exist regardless!

    People shouldn’t be touching anyone of any age without permission unless it’s an emergency situation.

    Especially babies who are more vulnerable to getting sick and people who touch them with their germy hands.

    I can’t believe the people telling her she’s sour for not wanting total strangers just coming up to her and touching her baby. Would they want some rando coming up and touching THEM?

    I love Tini but I can’t figure out why she responds or entertains trolls like this with so much energy. I totally get how she feels, but I can’t imagine taking time out of my life to reply to a stranger about my baby.

    She’s honestly being too kind to the weirdos in her messages. What on earth makes people think they’re entitled to touch a stranger’s baby?

  9. Why do people think babies are public property….
    Ask first… It’s really not that complicated….

  10. I find it weird when people touch *dogs* without permission let alone a *human baby*. What the hell is wrong with people?

    An old lady tried to touch my daughter when she was about 4 months old (she was two months prem and tiny, about 3kg at that point) so I rammed her with my pram and have zero regrets.

  12. I swear the pandemic has made the antivax types so deranged they find like, glee in the potential of making others sick, like in some wild “rub some dirt in it” way. My cousin had a premie baby last year (10 weeks early!) and one of the baby’s grannies went to the hospital to visit it and hold it WHILE having a “mystery” respiratory illness like what the *fuck* is wrong with some people

    “If you don’t want strangers touching your baby then stay in your home”

    I wish this person understood how rapey that logic is.

    This is what I mean when I say that old people and grown-ups are so entitled nowadays

    No one ever tried to touch my stomach or my baby (I have two). Whether it was my extreme RBF or just my general air of “I will eat your face?” I don’t know. But never did I have to fight with anyone about this.

    Keep your hands to yourself.

  16. Gosh please what’s wrong with people?? First of all, they’re BABIES who can’t advocate for themselves but who are also deserving of boundaries. Also, their immune system is still developing.

    start making funny faces to try and make babies laugh, instead. this is extremely satisfying. and even when the baby doesn’t laugh, I somehow always feel better after making a silly face.

  17. My wife and I get annoyed when *family* touch our baby without asking, let alone strangers

    My son had white blonde hair when he was born, and it was pretty thick even as a newborn. We got so many comments about it. When I would take him out on errands, I would always wear him in the baby carrier and it was crazy how many people would come up and touch his head while I was wearing him! Mainly little old ladies but it was terrible and happened constantly. I would see a hand come towards me and I would have to turn away or put my own hand on his head to stop people from actually touching him. I always figured wearing him vs having him in a stroller would limit the attempts to touch him but nope. People have zero boundaries and it’s not ok.

    My sisters were the opposite. Especially my oldest when she lived in Germany. She was like “dawg, so glad you’re here putting socks on my baby. Now hold him while I eat” 💀 to each their own!

    My mom had this bad habit, thankfully I’ve been able to make her understand why this is a problem. And always remember.

    “Your *okay* is not the universal *okay* for everyone.”
    Sure, maybe you don’t mind, but dang people, let’s respect boundaries 😩

    Touch NO ONE else unless you ask first!!!! Baby, Child, Teen, Young Adult or Old Adult. What’s so hard about CONSENT and/or keeping your hands to your damn self?

  22. Insane.

    I hate when I see people who aren’t the parents kiss a baby. My cousin has a family friend who kept kissing her newborn and she asked her to stop. The friend responded, “I just have to!” so my cousin stopped letting her come around for nearly a year.

    I can’t even imagine the idea of a *stranger* feeling entitled to touch a baby.

    It’s fucking crazy people are claiming they have some sort of privilege to TOUCH another person’s CHILD. Are we not all aware of the rampant pedophilia in this world? Or idk, the pandemic that happened literally 6 years ago?

    the superiority that mothers who have multiple children have over first time mothers needs to be psychologically studied.

    We need to start making people who say “then don’t go outside” whenever a woman vocies discomfort at being harassed/her boundries being crossed comfortable saying that. Please, start pointing at them and calling them weirdoes, I can’t comprehend why this is normalized.
