That sponge is already far dirtier than the inside of any toilet.

No kidding.

Not to mention...have you thought about the bathroom faucet? You wipe, touch handle to turn water on, therefore contaminating the handle, wash your hands and tehn touch the contaminated handle to turn the water off. Then you touch the bathroom door handle, your baby, food, sink faucet, etc. No better than what MIL did.

You can't get away from germs and it's ok.

NOT ONE OF YOU SEEMS CAPABLE OF ANSWERING THIS QUESTION. IF GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, WHY WASH YOUR HANDS AT ALL?

You'd better not EVER complain if you go to a restaurant and see an employee not wash his or her hands in the bathroom.

I don't always wash my hands. I have a great immune system. I started washing them in the bathroom after I had my DD. Mainly because it was a good "set time" to wash them, not because I really felt that using the restroom made them dirty. It's good to wash your hands a few times a day, so generally I now do that after using the bathroom. Just because it does stop cold germs from spreading. In the summer, I probably rarely wash my hands outside of doing dishes and the like.

Germs are everywhere because that is LIFE and germs are not all bad. During cold season, washing hands regularly can help stop the spread of cold germs. It's incredibly rare for people to get ill in their OWN house from some sort of shit bacteria. If all our health depended on the workers at restaurants washing their hands perfectly after using the restroom, everyone who ate out would be sick ALL the time.

Do you not ever put raw chicken juice in your sink? That is much more likely to cause illness than your MIL's hands in this scenario.

Wash regularly, doesn't matter if it's after the bathroom, unless you get poop all over yourself.

I agree with you OP. That is disgusting! But I doubt you'll be able to change her ways.

Did you really just say, "*I* don't always wash my hands. *I* have a great immune system."?!?!?!

You're never welcome to hold my preemie, bitch. Don't you dare shake hands with my elderly grandmother in church. Think about THE REST OF THE WORLD and not just yourself.

Mainly because it makes people feel better. You know how it's legal for factories to allow some small bug bits to get through into our food? We know this, and we eat the food, but we don't actually want to SEE it. Also, you want a wash between bathroom (anything really, not just bathroom) and handling food. We know MIL does this because she goes straight to the kitchen sink, but we don't know this about random employees, so we feel better with them washing in the bathroom. Ok?

Actually, yes. Food producers are allowed a certain % of rat fecal matter or whatever in our food.

I hope nobody will starve herself after this LOL

I'm sure you force everyone within a 100 foot radius of your preemie to wash head to toe and then cover themselves in alcohol gel. That is fine because your baby does not have a normal immune system. Keep in mind, however, whether or not someone washes their hands in the bathroom or 10 feet from the bathroom doesn't change the level of microorganisms in your house. Those microorganisms will ultimately be responsible for allowing your baby to develop a healthy immune system. That is the way all people develop immunity to the world around us. Not by bleaching every surface on an hourly basis.

Well, I had a very early preemie. I just kind of assume most people aren't sanitizing themselves constantly and kept my preemie home for 2 years until the doctors advised he could handle things like a regular kid. If you have a kid who needs to be kept away from germs, the burden is on you to keep him away from the general public. No way are germs going away and you can't control what people do in public.

I agree that it is gross. So, she touches toilet handle, door knob etc... with dirty hands. That would be enough for me to go behind her with lysol wipes every single time she used the bathroom.

[Anonymous]

Team OP. If you don't wash your hands after bathroom and frequently, you are gross and slovenly.

Do people normally wash before touching the toilet handle? Literally particles of feces shoot out of the toilet every time it is flushed. It isn't very clean and you should wash after.

Your sponge has more germs than her "ass-hands."

I don't "agree" with some of my MIL's house rules/customs, but I respect and follow them in her home.

Hmm., there was another thread recently were people were sneaking alcohol into a relatives house who abstains for religious reasons and most people saw no problem whatsoever with that. I guess house rules only matter on dcum if it is your house.
