Who thinks 12 is old enough to CARRY a baby . Not hold , carry . My boyfriend's little brother insists that he's old enough to carry my baby and I keep telling him no , no little kids can carry her , not just him . He says , "but I'm her uncle" and I tell him that I have little siblings that are also her uncle's , and they're not allowed to carry her either . I always let him hold her and I tell him sit down with her , but eventually he always ends up being sneaky and carrying her after a while . It pisses me off that he doesn't respect my rule but I don't want him to not like me so I don't yell at him , I just say it in a stern way . Apparently not stern enough . And my boyfriend barely even sticks up for me because he doesn't see anything wrong with 12 year olds carrying a baby
