Yes, my child is cute, but NO, you cannot pinch her cheeks!

Loading player...
This week on Bad Moms Club, a mom got in touch with Carol Ofori about something that has been bothering her about the 'aunties'. I need advice on how to deal with the ‘aunties’ in the shopping centre who think it’s OK to come and touch my baby. The other day, two women came up to me, asked about my daughter in the pram, and then greeted her and squeezed her cheeks. This happens often, and I’m too scared to make an issue of it in case it offends them or causes a scene. People can be so sensitive. But I really don’t want strangers touching my baby’s face. I don’t even touch her face unless I’ve thoroughly sanitized my hands. How should I politely deal with this?
