Got nothing to do with being British, he sounds mentally f***ed :,)
Not cultural, I’d find this odd too!
It’s definitely not a British thing, that’s just weird
No, that is definitely not cultural. I am British and that is freaky. I would 100% be getting rid of this friend.
This is giving red flags and boundary issues , I would take a wide birth from this man. Something is not right about his behaviour towards children and equally he is testing the parents trust of him ... Red Flag.
He is my husband’s best friend so he is unwilling to cut him off. I am so creeped out by him ( was already when he put so much pressure into seeing our son). I will have to make sure never to allow him alone with him 😳
That’s so weird
Sounds like he is immature and crossing boundaries but I can imagine he probably thinks he just joking around and not causing harm. I have a friend that I can imagine doing this and although I get why you are weirded out unless there is something more sinister I think expecting your husband to cut him off is probably a bit unrealistic. I would instead say to your husband that you feel uncomfortable around him with your new baby and need a break from him. Good luck 🤞
It’s super weird to me too.
