Older generation lack of boundaries RANT

I’ve started going out with the baby I’ve had an older man try to lift the pram cover so he can see the baby and when I glared at him he backed off ,2 older ladies in the shop on different instances just reached out and touched her hand or try to lift her sun hat so they can have a look. The lady who touched her hand it was after her jabs and one of them is a live vaccine so hopefully she’s not immune compromised . I just gently moved away from her and didn’t say anything because honestly it’s on her for touching people without consent. I would never dream of touching a stranger’s baby out in the wild especially without consent. Is this a thing or is it something about 50+ people not thinking?

Its a thing - they don't respect boundaries other than their own

Fuel attendants, random elder people in the stores, touching my daughter especially her head because she has a lotttt of hair im just dumbfounded by the way these people think its okay, and i am too afraid to tell them to f off and keep their hands off my baby because i dont want to cause a scene and it end up being my fault because i knoooww my ass will just pop off from the constant lack of respect and boundary people have ill just lost it. What i really cant stand??!? Is when people sneeze and let out a phlegmy gross cough RIGHT in front of my baby and dont even TRYYYY TO COVER THEIR FACE/MOUTH!!!! And then look at you and keep on... like THIS IS HOW YOU CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY ? Nasty ass

Sorry for the language lol it's a fiery subject for me as well like you said i too could never imagine just touching a strangers baby even if i knew them without permission it's weird rude disrespectful and selfish the audacity of those who think that they have the right too. Whether they didn't mean ill will or were 'harmlessly doing so' doesn't matter. Its 2025 do better

I had an older man go ooh let's have a look then even though my son was asleep and say get him out. Kept his hand on the handle bar of the pram which really irritated me and couldn't wait to anticbac it . Heart of gold but not sure what makes them think they can just have a look/touch.

It’s so awkward because I want to call them out but I don’t want to cause a scene especially if I’m on my own because people are unpredictable

Yeah, have to be very careful specially, nowadays you can't trust anyone you don't know who you're dealing with no matter who they are what they look like or their age!!!

I thought it was bad enough people putting their heads into the pram never mind touching baby. I think I would go nuts!! X
