Could it be that the people that make nasty remarks about us carrying our furbabies, are the very same people who seem to rarely 'carry' their own skinbabies. They always have them in some plastic container. What is that? Poor babies never know what it is to feel arms around them. The parents would rather spend 10minutes unlatching a large cumbersome carrier from some sort of contraption in the car instead of just unstrapping the baby and carrying it in their arms. I don't understand. Is it a generational thing? What am I missing? Seriously, I've watched them really struggle to get those big carriers out of the car, watched them use both hands to lug them around the store, they look really heavy, while this little 10-12lb baby is lying inside. Sometimes, it seems they just don't want to touch the baby, if they use that to transport car to store to home, feed, change, sleep, etc... when DO they touch the baby? No wonder they think we're crazy. Wouldn't it have been easier to have just scooped up the baby and hugged it to you, carried it around and done some quality bonding while shopping. I've seen some baby slings that some new mommies are using that look wonderful. So, if they never touch their skinkids, they really must think were nuts!!!!
