I feel like this is a trick question, as the answer appears blatantly obvious - f**k no!

If this is something that happened decades ago then parents attitudes & life was different then.

Its never a trick question with me. It happened to me years ago. I can only just remember it and it's always been a mystery to me because I didn't know the woman involved, I never saw her again and I was never allowed to ever mention the incident ever again. I just find it really weird. I don't think anything bad happened to me and as far as I remember it wasn't even an unpleasant experience.

If you were 2 or 3 at the time then there is no way you have the full story of what exactly happened and if the person involved was indeed a stranger. e.g. My grandmother used to offer respite care for pregnant woman, young mothers and their children etc . She was a complete stranger to these women at first.

Having said that, it's f*****g weird that the incident is taboo.

There’s an old joke about Pennsylvania: a state with 2 major cites on either end of the state that hate each other, divided by the old-order Amish and old-order Mennonites.

I grew up, and still live, in PA Dutch Country. If you ever had to deal with the old-order Amish, you find out very quickly they do not trust anybody outside their order.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what life might be like for on the other side of this therapy. I know I've got a long way to go and I'm under no illusion that it's gonna be hard.

Please wish me the best for my trip to the unknown.

I love you all.

Depends on the situation.

Normally? No.

Medical emergency or evacuating a natural disaster or conflict zone? 100% yes; save my kid I'll thank ya later.

I'm not sure what AIWS (apart from memory loss) or an old joke about Pennsylvania has any relevance to your situation tbh, I'm sure there must be a connection in their minds.
