shouldn’t it be sanitize your hands after tocuhing the baby? I mean the thing sits there stewing in its own feces, salivates on its hand, sticking them whonows where. No telling what germs those things may contain.

Those “Please wash your hands before touching mine” signs are used in hospitals. They actually have a purpose. My mom got one for me in red, but it was for a laugh.

Slight hint: don’t have a “meet-the-baby” party in that case. Just sayin’.

I don’t want people touching me – so why would I want their f’ing hands all over my child? Keep your damn hands to yourself!

The first note, yes.

The second (sign) – some people’s kids have health problems that normally would prevent them from going out in public. When they finally do head out, it does make sense to have a sign rather than have to shove away every well-meaning grandma that wants to pinch the kid’s cheeks. Although, I would think they’d want a sign being more specific “Baby has health problems, please do not touch”

Because the hand germs ate away my frontal lobe.

Before hand sanitizer, there was no such thing as babies. Not coincidentally, there was also no such thing as sex, either. People just didn’t do stuff like that before we came along.

I can’t imagine how my babies survived having had the gross defect of being born before hand sanitizer

Thank you! I’m reminding myself that people who have an issue with this are people who don’t have babies – or haven’t for many years.

That’d be a good compromise. Another fair, albeit far less erudite solution may have been: “Wanna stay up all night and day and night and day with a sick, screaming, feverish child who can’t be consoled or comforted, period-no-matter-what-end-of-subject? Yes, you do? Good – have your own and don’t practice basic sanitation with HIM. No, you don’t? Okay. Then don’t touch mine.”

As a parent of a soon-to-turn-1 year old (who’s rarely sick because, you know..basic cleanliness), I used the pink sign religiously the first few months. If you’re too inconsiderate to practice hygiene, you’re probably not the type of person I want my child learning from or emulating – so the sign served its purpose on every level.
