Also nobody my age does it. All grandparent aged. Including people she’s never met… how can you have so little self awareness? You weren’t intimidated/hate it when older people would touch you or guilt you into a hug or something when you were a child? It’s literally a trope in movies that older people pinch/kiss grandkids (unrelated “aunts” included) without consent. The entitlement is incredible. I’m going to start getting very direct about this in the moment.

My kids are old enough that this isn't an issue for me any more. But man that is infuriating. I truly do not get why people think that's ok. I was pretty direct as well, and think that is good as a chance for people to learn that their behaviour is inappropriate touching of children.
