Being a new mom is hard especially during a pandemic. I hardly leave the house and when I do I get bombarded with maskless women wanting to peak at baby. As much as I love the attention and compliments. You need to put your masks on and back up. Us new moms are scared. I hate confrontation and whenever it's about a mask it turns political for some stupid reason. Please just respect us moms and our new babies and be courteous and respectful.
Dickbuckles
Don't be nice to these maskless invading your space people. Tell them in no uncertain terms to FUCK OFF!
Bionicbananas42
This was annoying prior to pandemic. Don't touch someone else's baby. Why is that hard to understand?
OrkieBleu
GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER BABY!!!! I'm looking at you EVERYONE!!

It was exactly the same in the before times during the colder months. People with runny noses and coughs getting too close.

Im sorry i personally know how you feel as a new father it is incredibly difficult and you also have to deal with friend's and family wh
Shinigami4th
Who want to hold the baby etc. And you have to balance all that with their safety. Its difficult and i wish the the best. Stay safe
KyrieCummings
It is especially my 85 year old grandparents all they wanna do is see baby. Covid sucks
Shinigami4th
I understand that completely, i was fortunate that we had our son right before covid.. my parents got to hold him before this whole thing.
Frostbreaker1
New parent here in Canada. I have the same problem outside where masks aren't required. Always boomers. So clueless
trikucian
Which province? I heard Ontario recently made masks mandatory in public. I'm in BC
Frostbreaker1
Not outside no, at least not in Ottawa. Just inside (and maybe public outside places like fenced in areas? Not sure)
trikucian
Hmm, sucks. I keep seeing so many people here in groups with no masks
SirSpendersHoldenuppdepanse
My mom used to have this plastic cover that draped over our strollers when it rained, would something like this help?
KyrieCummings
I use a light breathable blanket and cover over her stroller but then she eventually freaks out because she can't see me. I'll look for som-
KyrieCummings
Something clear thank you for the idea!
DanielRadcliffesDeliciousAsshole1
Unpopular opinion but don’t lean into a baby even when the world was fine I don’t know you and leave my child alone
Unenthusiasticmasterbation
My oldest is 3 and I regularly had to tell people in public not to touch her face and had to slap a few hands away
eastend666
It's my automatic default to step back to admire babies.

Last week at aldis 2 maskless ladies were blocking the entrance having a full conversation as if nobody else existed in the world
MaybeAcat
This happens at the pharmacy I used to use. Older folks had to push through antimaskers to get in. I spoke up publicly and got death threats
abidikgubidik
Aldi's delivery is pretty good where I live. It comes super quick. Haven't set foot in that store in years.
RacanGiraffeMonster
OMG Aldi delivers? I have to check this out immediately, I love their stuff
RacanGiraffeMonster
oh no. The only deliver special items.. no food. Now I am sad. And this in their home country
abidikgubidik
hmm, in the US, they deliver everything. I guess they do it through InstaCart as a partnership maybe?

pupsgetallthepets
I had my daughter before the pandemic and this stressed me out so I can imagine how hard it would be now! Little old ladies especially
pupsgetallthepets
Don’t feel bad. You’ll feel worse if your kid gets sick. You’re being a good mom protecting your child!
Ryebread91
I've seen plenty of couples in my store with their infant while both parents are shopping. Why not have one stay home with the child?
theriogrande
Exactly! We’ve only taken our baby to an outdoor nursery/home goods store. No need to bring them indoors where adults can’t follow rules
BoogieBodyRockinQueen
I take my 5m old into stores with me. I put the rain cover over the stroller when we're inside. I call it the baby sneeze guard.
Ryebread91
That's funny.
LanttuLaatikko
Grocery shopping for a family is a pain if you're alone. Also it can be the only way either one of the parents gets out of the house.
Ryebread91
But you're still bringing your infant out during a pandemic.
LanttuLaatikko
I might not bring it out if I lived in USA or some other hotspot. It's a viewpoint from elsewhere, perhaps more suitable in another time.
alyssaknight666
I would assume it’s caused by lack of trust in the relationship. One of the partners believes the other one can’t shop or babysit alone.
lookatthefishie
Maybe it's because of their work schedules (like one on 1st and one on swings), it's not always immediately due to distrust in each other.
SQUIZZ2K
We just keep the plastic rain cover on when inside a place. The Mrs don't like to fuss but I had to tell an old lady to f*ck off cos of this

That’s being overly polite

I stopped an old woman from touching my newborn at Cracker Barrel. Covid wasn't even in the US yet. Don't touch my God damn children.
PenisOfDeath
TheKoolAidMans
yeah I have a newborn and I barley take her anywhere. when we do I cover the stroller with a muslin(breathable and light) blanket.
trikucian
I'm starting to think I should paint "stay 6 feet away" on my stroller cover
Noughmad
No. If you do this during a pandemic, or in winter, or if the parent tell you not to, or if they look uncomfortable, YOU DON"T MEAN WELL.
Turkfergguson
Get a spray bottle and fill it with hand sanitizer. Spray them while yelling "6 feet".
KyrieCummings
I just might start doing this ?
alyssaknight666
I just bring my arms up and twirl in spot.
Turkfergguson
But seriously, I have a 9 month old. I pull the stroller away and tell them "no" then keep going. I've stopped caring about being polite.
battlepants
I don't blame you. I feel that we are a bit beyond being polite when 200k+ are dead and many more will be crippled for life.
Gaelig
people are weird. I don't even touch a dog without asking permission.
kittykat
Thank you! - from a fear reactive dog owner
battlepants
Thanks for doing this. I've had kids lunge at my dog out of nowhere. Luckily, he's a very chill dog, that could have been bad.
SarcasticComment
... but the dog gave me permission. Hi there. Pets please.
venster
Why do people do this??? They think they can just touch babies without permission??
Imstillinbed
Yes.
trikucian
I'm 8mos pregnant. I'm lucky now, people just think I'm fat. But when the baby's born, I'm gonna be the most bitchy overprotective mama bear

I don’t wear a mask because I have asthma but I’m still not stupid enough to get in the face of a baby
Dogman1227
That's shit looks like a portable grill.

TacoDaddy6969
I went into a store and none of the people makkng and serving food were wearing a mask. The south is great but some of the people here...
effarydi
Makes me proud of the DC area. Just about everyone wears a mask here, especially inside/in confined areas.
DreadPierateRoberts
I'm in charles town which people commute from in theory though most work from home now. About 80% wear masks.
Squirtle51
The day they lifted the mask mandate in Florida, every Publix employee acted like they never heard of a mask. I have to shop elsewhere now.
Rhianmnop
Florida here, so glad my publix still has a sign for masks please. I'd hate to have to go elsewhere, mother of many by the way.
FuryM0nk
California restaurants are no different in some places. People just suck sometimes :(
slack3rdav3
Dude, I walked into a barber shop before my anniversary, and there was like 10 people in about 500sqft, no one wearing a mask.Freaked me out
TacoDaddy6969
Yeah, id have turned around and left.
slack3rdav3
that's exactly what i did, and scheduled an appt with another place that had a sign saying masks were required
notthatoneladyyoudontlike
Mine is 3m old. Has only been outside for vax shots at doc office. We are too scared. Feels really sad. I wanted to show her summer time.
TheRealPumpkinQueen
I'm serious about this, look pissed. Like you're ready to low key kill someone. Projecting anger will keep people away, walk with a purpose
biffabiffitosparkito
And then it's the actual grandparents doing it first!!!! And they get offended when you tell them. Soo stressful,!!
nethsmith
A lady at the supermarket got mad at my wife because she said our baby was cute my wife said thanks and kept walking ½
nethsmith
She got all indignant and said "you are supposed to stop when people say you have a cute baby so we can look at them " http://i.imgur.com/8

Women always want to get up all in babies faces. Even without a pandemic, you don't know this child they don't know you, back the fuck up.
NotTinyPancakes
i dont nothigb scares me more than being neara newborn, rerrified it will explode or soemthing theyre so fragile
Nikkiname79
Nah man babies are gross, I stay as far away from them as possible
katwa
Hi, woman here. Don't like babies belonging to the family. You have some creepy ass motherfuckers who look at babies without asking.
Jae005
I used to scratch peoples faces when I was a baby cause I hated them getting up on my face. One of my Aunts still has scars from me. :)
razorgirl1066
I had a friend who got oral herpes because someone kissed her as a baby.
enferno8
50-80% of US adults have HSV1. She could've gotten it anywhere at any time.
surprisecottoncandy
It is especially dangerous to babies though. It’s can lead to death.

And even if she got it from giving a dude a blowie, I wouldn't care.

My husband and all his siblings and cousins have it from their grandma who insisted on kissing on the mouth even when she had cold sores.

Exactly! There's whooping cough and other diseases, women that scout for human trafficking, so much potential for disaster.
FrumpyCrust
Take that q bullshit elsewhere please..
CurbYourClassWar
Take that framing basic intelligent caution as conspiracy wackjob elsewhere please. There's fucked up people in the world. Deal with it.
FrumpyCrust
no, most of it comes from family members so that woman is just talking out her ass
TalkNerdyToMe
If you walked up to an adult and went on kissing them and telling them how cute they are, you'd get the cops called on you. (Or a date?)
FartmanMD
But it’s actually even creepier when you consider these are grown adults touching a young child. Like wtf
illogicalphallusies
there is a difference between the two. there is *normally* nothing sexual about touching/kissing a baby and we are hardwired to want to
illogicalphallusies
it can provide additional immuno responses in the baby which is good for them, BUT that doesnt mean you randomly do it to unknown babies
