Re: How Should I Deal With Strangers' Reactions

February 21, 2007

Hi all,

this made me laugh. We went to India in Dec/Jan and everyone there was

pinching sydney's cheeks. total strangers! she got a cold, and i'm

sure it was from one of those cheek pinchers. Maybe it would have gone

more smoothly if she was still in her helmet. And just in case I could

use stickers to say " Hands Off! " :-)

> I think the " worst " of it was the rude looks and

comments from strangers,,or in some cases lack there of...he would

wave or try to babble at people,and they would ignore him.But that was

a blessing in disguise for me .Because to be honest .I didnt want a

bunch of complete strangers touching and breathing all over my son(not

to sound rude but you dont know if someones sick or where there hands

have been.) But if someone asked ,i would try to educate them on

plagio,and tort.You get some rude older people who would mention that

your supposed put them to sleep on thier tummy.To which i would also

educate them on the back to sleep campaign and sids and all.Plus i

would reiterate that the tort started in the womb.Bottom line it is

probabley the toughest thing to deal with but it is 110% worth it

because at the end of the day.You are doing whats best for your child.
