Reply #79: Thank BI for clarifying. I didn't know that's what you meant.

I don't think it's all that common now. It was common when my first two were little. I think the fear of illness/germs and pedophiles and general distrust of people have long made it a thing of the past.

It's just sad that people have to live in such fear now. I can understand it though. It's difficult to teach a child about strangers if a parent allows strangers to touch them.
