I'm probably going to get a Mumsnet lecture: however I think strangers asking to take pictures of my son when we're out for a family meal every single weekend and for others to join our table to pet my son like he's a puppy is overstepping boundaries. Am I wrong ?? A: he's not a dog so petting him is just weird and b:he is my child he's not an art piece so strangers taking photos are a complete Nono.

Whaaaaaa???

What a weird thread.

Never see this happen, to anyone, ever. (Or their child.)

As has been said OP, you have set yourself up for a roasting with your OP.

my child is sooooooo amazing and beautiful and perfect; EVERYone wants to be near him and photograph him!

I have seen some cute kids, but have I ever wanted to take a pic of them?

Have I fuck!

I don't care how cute some random stranger's child is,or how enchanting their laugh is,I'm certainly not going to fall under their spell and start taking photos of him/her. I don't like children I'm immune to the charms of all children,you see,except my DGD.

When i went to a hotel recently, 250 people laughed along with my boy.

I challenge yours to a laugh off.

My child has a special aura about them too.

Oh no, wait, it was poo.

Mynewballoon · 03/08/2017 19:48

And this is the 3rd time I've posted this in as many days.....

This is a joke right?!

Blonde DC1 used to get photographed by Japanese tourists when tiny. We lived in a historical tourist English town and it used to happen all the time. They sometimes would come over and ask but often just did it Confused

Soon stopped when they were pre teens and not so cute.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 03/08/2017 19:49

Back in the real world....

AwaywiththePixies27 · 03/08/2017 19:49

Feel a bit let down to be honest. I had a few people staring at me and DD today. But that was because she was busy having a massive fuck off tantrum in the middle of the shop and we had to leave. Shall work on her aura for next week, then maybe they'll all stop and take her pic instead.

Actually no it's alright. That shit's weird...

SparklyMagpie · 03/08/2017 19:50

Well rest assured OP, you'll never catch me giving a shit big enough to photograph your child

BabychamSocialist · 03/08/2017 19:50

OP, is this your child? Grin

DollyPartonsBeard · 03/08/2017 19:50

Umm..... you can SEE a laugh?

DramaAlpaca · 03/08/2017 19:54

What on earth is this thread all about? Confused

Sashkin · 03/08/2017 19:55

When we lived in Malta, ginger DBro used to get queues of old ladies coming up to touch his hair and coo at him. So if OP is in a hotel in the Mediterranean I can just, just about imagine her DS has been getting some attention.

The "whole town falling about in hysterics when PFB smiles" part is Confused though

Shitalopram · 03/08/2017 19:55

MrsQuinn I think I have found a couple of pictures of his Dad

This is so weird. I think you must be deluded. My toddler is quite cute, proper mop of blonde curls, smiley Botticelli cherub cute. People often comment or ruffle his hair. It's nice. But no one has ever wanted a photo of him or been all weird like you suggest. I put it to you that you are, in fact, a tiny bit mental.
