I thought I would have more of a problem with it, but I've actually been okay with it. Only with my family though. My brothers and sister and best friend are allowed to touch all they want (I put it to us being so close while growing up...I mean, we took baths together, eat and drink after each other...so I guess that's why it doesn't bother me). And then my mom is always touching and talking to the baby. Other than my immediate family and best friend, no one is allowed to touch, and I let them know that. My dad doesn't touch it though. We've never had a touchy feely relationship, no hugging or anything after I hit puberty, lol. But I still know he's excited soo..
