I don’t get this, don’t you have sex? Isn’t that just as germy as a toothbrush? It wouldn’t occur to me to buy a whole other toothbrush for my spouse. Or kids, tbh. But sure, for a roommate or something. But actually, I would let my women friends borrow my toothbrush if they asked. I would just rinse it out well between.

Hmmmm, interesting parallel and examples there. Sharing blood is just unhygenic overall. Even with a spouse. Unless you are Angelina Jolie of course.

You mean the spouse you kiss?

Your spouse has bleeding gums and you swallow their blood? Might want to get that checked out.

Vile habit.

NP

I have my own toothbrush obviously but I will grab any family members toothbrush to use in a pinch. Don’t care. Don’t find it gross. Not worried about germs whatsoever at all, although if anyone was sick I probably wouldn’t do this (and yes I know I might not know yet). Dh and two dc use their own special electric toothbrushes but two dc also have regular ones they use. Dh and one dc are VERY particular about their toothbrushes.

Deodorant. Dcs are very picky about not using each others but will borrow from me if needed. DH doesn’t use it

Brushes. No one cares

Nail clippers. No one cares

Tweezers. Dc will use mine, not other dc. Other dc will use only his own. Dh has his own but doesn’t seem to care

Now things like pricey skin care items and similar… total warfare over sharing

Good God I hope not!

This is a gross + lazy habit if you ask me.

What is even more disgusting is those people who sometimes use their dog’s toothbrushes 🪥 because they are too lazy to look for their own! 🤯

I also drink water after my kids and eat food after them. They are getting older and so now less inclined to do any of the above. They have their own tooth electric brushes now and daughter especially doesn't want her brother to use hers.

I get that people will think it's gross so I'd never tell a coworker, but your coworker isn't the only one.

You are bizarre...

She said she has tried to break the habit but her teens still use hers and her husbands or grab whoever has a toothbrush out and available.

I’m struggling to ask this but … is this common?

Yeah those kids need to grow up and get their own personal space and not be using their parents toiletries and such. That's disgusting, and really not safe, as toothbrushes, nail clippers, combs, etc. can spread diseases. Don't want the whole family to get STDs or Hepatitis just cause one of them is promiscuous or unhygenic.

Sadly, my family is not as "exciting" as yours.

You assume a lot about things you don't know. Talking about your family there. Naivity, it not a Christmas word.

I'm dying to know what this means...

Something to do with STD I suppose.

Personally, I would make sure to pack his toothbrush.

My biggest question is how did this come up in conversation?!
