And I have avoided some playgrounds and outings to the park during flu season or if I see snotty-nosed kids running around. My son is 13 months and he's never had more than a little cold- Thank GOD!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202705350178665885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-50594078216825366452012-02-19T13:30:26.587-07:002012-02-19T13:30:26.587-07:00OK so gross and I'm so crazy too - I've ju...OK so gross and I'm so crazy too - I've just started putting Peanut into the card without a sover, but I wipe it down like crazy all the time.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589500389134078994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-84361734548600742702012-02-19T00:28:54.222-07:002012-02-19T00:28:54.222-07:00Yuck!

If that were my baby, that would be the last thing I would be thinking. Let's take a picture so we can out it on Facebook...

The one time I neglected to bring sanitizing wipes with us on the plane, coming home from New York this week was the first time my kids caught something pretty nasty, and yes, it really was coming out both ends, for lack of a better phrase. My 7-month-old's still getting over it. I'm in total agreement that there are places where you need to be extra vigilant about germs, because some people are naaaasty.Maggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534414385595822536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-30634089981095899522012-02-17T12:51:27.477-07:002012-02-17T12:51:27.477-07:00That's why I said "in certain situations....That's why I said "in certain situations." I will let my kid play at the Toddler playplace at McDonald's and at playgrounds. My mom let us get really dirty and go DAYS without a bath (which is kinda gross actually) and we were rarely sick. This is also why we don't buy antibacterial soaps and why I don't rush any of us to the doctor at the first sign of sniffles. <br /><br />The thing is there are certain things and places that are excessively germy. Those are the things that I will go out of my avoid contact with. For instance - I don't pump gas. EVER. That's a husband job, LOL!<br /><br />Trust me - when you have OCD (and I'm talking the real deal, diagnosed by a doctor, not just kinda type A) you think about ALL this stuff. Being too clean is almost as bad as being dirty.SplendidlyImperfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798649697960237749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-82973199691422321402012-02-17T12:18:39.086-07:002012-02-17T12:18:39.086-07:00Yes, I agree with you, there are so many nasty thi...Yes, I agree with you, there are so many nasty things out there to get us but think about this, if you don't come in contact with some bacteria, that is how children do not get enough immunization on their own bodies...AND get sick too easily! just a thought.Alehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460777518485171543noreply@blogger.com
