Parents are projecting when they do this. I hold this thing and it brings me such joy, here, you must feel this joy.
Many people without kids who have never held a kid at most feel a little curiosity at the new experience, but don't feel that mass of endorphins that the parent or previous parent gets when holding a newborn.
Until I had my own, holding someone else's kid was to appease them, not because it made me overflow with joy.
I've got a kid and had that nervousness. I remember when we left the hospital, it felt like it was too easy, like "we just made this kid, an actual person, and you're just letting us leave and take it home with us!? Isn't that irresponsible??"
Seriously I absolutely do not understand putting your child's safety into someone else's hands for shits and giggles. Like I'm honored you trust me that much, but...maybe don't trust my feeble body lol 😆
It's a trap. The moment you hold the baby on your own, it steals your soul and gives you brain chemicals to make new babies. That's how baby is formed
Parent: "You won't"

YOURE NOT MY SUPERVISOR
This aint my dad its a cell phone!
Just a little drop. Just to see how it feels.
I always reply with, "No, thanks, I've already eaten."
Actually happened to me. Not a full drop, just head on table. I was never offered a baby to hold again.
*takes notes*
If it was just head, they never would have had the baby in the first place.
Are you looking for an apprentice?
Sometimes they do get dropped. Just look at JD Vance.
Should have dropped him harder
I hate holding babies. I don’t want to hold your baby
I refuse as well. When asked why I say it's too much of a liability. The unspoken part is I don't care enough to take the chance.
Everyone drops a baby, it's how you react afterward that's important. I'm a fan of scooping them back up before anyone notices personally.
"Hey can you hold my baby?"
"Sure.. for a bit"
"You won't" is a thing bad parents say right before their friend who was nervous or disinterested in holding their baby, drops it.
What if he knows I used to be a giant piece of shit?
People can change
They still are a giant piece of shit, but they used to be too.
Dropped one once. Was mid transfer with his sister and he decided to start squirming. Reflexes kicked in and I caught him mid fall. That was over 20 years ago and I'm still terrified.
It's not as scary as it seems, and quite a bit of fun.
Don't be afraid to try.
Source: Am dad. But, it's been a long time since I held a baby. Not that I think anything has changed about it in the intervening years.
Then you're legally responsible for the death of a child.
Don't worry tho, you're legally responsible if your actions or lack of care kill anyone - you should be used to it be now.
Infants are pretty bouncy, so it'll probably be fine.
Yeah, I'm good.
