Why do some new mothers assume that everyone wants to hold the baby?

?? I was rushing around like crazy putting the finishing touches on Christmas dinner. My son’s girlfriend came up with their one month old baby in her arms and says, “Gramma hasn’t had a chance to hold you!” and started to hand her to me.
I said, “I’m sorry Shell, I’m REALLY busy right now. Maybe later.”

Later, as I was sitting, exhausted she said, “Gramma can hold you now!” and stuck her in my arms…

She’s not the only woman to have done this to me over the years. I never stuck my babies in other people’s arms unless they asked, or unless I needed my hands free for a moment, and then I would ASK them to hold the baby for a moment.

I don’t get it….
