Strangers

The other day I was in a clothing store and this woman came up to the pram (as people do a thousand times a day when you have twins grrrrr) and started to put her hands in to touch the girls while I had my back turned to grab a dress. Man did I freak!!!! What on earth makes complete stranger think that they have the right to put their dirty mits all over my babies!!! It makes me soooo angry. I'm not sure what other peoples experiences with this are, but with twins people suddenly feel they have the right to come up and assult you with a million questions while your out minding your own business and it's always the same idiotic questions over and over and over.

The worst is when your at a restaurant and people come up to the table while your eating to ask if they're twins?!?! Which has got to be the stupidest question ever!

Sorry for the rant but I'm so over feeling like a traveling freak show Can't I just go out with my babies and shop in peace?

lisa I'm with you...i dont get it.. old people and random people touch him and I think it's weird too..they grab his cheek and squeeze it:( must be so much worse with gorgeous twins like yours!

When it comes to the touching I guess for me it's mainly the fact that I don't know where their hands have been or if they might be sick. You never know if they don't wash their hands after going to the toilet or patting a dog. Things like that.

when we lived in japan we got a LOT of that with Jake. People used to take photos of him. the freakiest one was when this woman came up to us at our home train station and started talking away. I could barely understand what she was saying. anyway, she picked up Jake and started cooeing to him. then after a few minutes, gave him back and left. I said to lewis "who was that?" assuming it was one of his students. he turns to me and says "I thought YOU knew her" turns out she was some random.

I was sooo over everyone pawing him.

It's true about grocery shopping it takes three times as long with a baby on board than if you go alone!

What I hate the most is when Isabelle is dressed head to toe in pink (and its usually a dress) and they ask if its a boy or girl! Are these people morons?

LMAO SD Morons would be a nice way of putting it

Cheek pinches are the worst.. we have a few in our area that we see frequently and very rarely we can get past them (while walking) without them stopping for a pinch
Poor Keziah is going to have droopy cheeks before long LOL

Neeks I'm the same I feel like saying 'He has droopy cheeks cause of people like you.....' :)

Haha yeah pick the first time mum over here! I guess I'm a little OCD when it come to the girls but they haven't gotten to the eating dirt stage yet! I've seen my neice try to eat a blowfly once lol!
I guess I just have a thing about strangers. Plus like I said when you have twins people coming up to you gets very old very fast.

I don't like strangers touching but worst for me is when someone is holding your baby and then just decides the baby wants to chew on their finger - um, yuck! how am I supposed to know that it is clean?
