I’ve only gotten a few unsolicited comments from women about my kids. They were kind. I only got one patronizing comment, and I think that lady meant well.

The one thing I really noticed with small kids was how women stare at babies and toddlers. Not all women. Not so much that it’s creepy. But a lot.

Is it weird? I thought it was like staring at someone’s dog. It’s cute and it’s out of the ordinary.

It’s weird in the sense that I haven’t been stared at before (even indirectly, like this).

But maybe I’m the weird one. 🤷

I don’t know. I’ll stop staring at babies so much though. Thinking about it, it is a little weird to stare because if it were a dog you could play it off as gauging the dog’s behavior, to see if it was nice and you could ask to pet the dog, whereas you would never scope out a stranger’s baby to see if you could hold it.
