[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year. Old leaned over and licked the metal grab rail on the metro. Ewwww!

Still alive, and quiet healthy due to all the germs.

You are in for a fun 2-3 years OP if you are freaking out about grandma sharing a pudding with your toddler.[/quote]

Do you encourage your kid to lick the rail? Do you like it? I bet it was an isolated incident,  you told the kid not to do that anymore, and thought of ways to prevent him/her from licking every rail in sight.

OP didn't freak out, she's looking for ways to deal with a recurrent situation. If it's something she can easily prevent, that's her prerogative as a mother.
I don't understand posters like you who pass judgement on other parents' standard ( especially since these are standards which a pedi & dentist would support). The question was not whether she should allow utensil sharing, but how to request ppl not do continue the utensil sharing.[/quote]

Exactly! My kid has licked the shopping cart handle, refrigerator door handle,  and eaten off the floor. But I don't encourage that behavior nor would I want someone feeding my child from their spoon (or kissing them on the lips) when I, as their mother, don't even do that. [/quote]
