When I had my own kids, I made a point to hold them a lot when they were babies. I liked to do this as it was almost like rocking myself to sleep. But with the grandkids it is entirely different. I don't know why either. I do not like to babysit them, so I don't. The one time I did I was looking at the clock the entire time waiting and waiting for the parents to get home.

I like to play with them, but no not touch them. And for kids not in my family I can't even relate. I am glad there are other people that can do it, but not me.
