Reply #34: Currently in the USA it is absolutely against the laws of the culture

[truedelphi]

To look at someone else's baby or toddler. At least in most suburbs or affluent areas.

And don't touch!!

You might be a perv. You might have greasy hands. You might infect said child with germs.

It is a very very different world than the one in which I grew up.

Other countries are different. Inother countries, it is acceptable to want to hold a baby. I have heard that in Russia, parents can't walk down the street without granmas and granpas coming up to take turns holding the baby (even when not their grandchild.)

But not here!!

The law here is if you wanna baby, get your own damn baby!!
