[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's truly not OK is that OP has asked her to abide by the rules/customs of the house, and MIL won't do it. I don't "agree" with some of my MIL's house rules/customs, but I respect and follow them in her home.[/quote] LOL. No, you don't need to follow rules from crazy people. [/quote] No, YOU people are crazy if you think that TOUCHING A DOORKNOB to exit the bathroom, then TOUCHING THE FAUCET to turn on the water at the *kitchen sink* isn't spreading germs. If your "logic" is, "Well, I don't get any poop or pee on my hands when I go to the bathroom," then...WHY WASH YOUR HANDS AT ALL? Wash your freaking hands in the bathroom after you go to the bathroom. If you don't do that, you are really gross. And OP is right to think her MIL is being gross...and rude. [/quote] You can't stop germs from spreading. Deal with it. You can stunt proliferation, but PPs are correct: You can never get away from fecal matter. Try not to dwell on it :mrgreen: I agree that MIL could be more agreeable, because her hostess is batshit crazy and deserves some empathy.[/quote] If this is your logic, then answer the question: WHY WASH YOUR HANDS AT ALL?[/quote] Oh, chill. It's not [i]my[/i] logic. It's the way of the world. We wash our hands to cut down on germs on our hands. Humans tend to stick their hands into their faces, so minimizing bugs on hands somewhat helps the immune system and reduces the chances of eating something really nasty. But I assure you that washing poop hands in your kitchen sink does not create any more hazard than there already is. The difference it makes is negligible. Literally. Do a science experiment with your kids. Don't touch a door knob for a week, then swipe it and see what grows. Reading that a washed and dried sponge is clean made me laugh. Who are you, people? :shock: (At least microwave the damn sponge, if you want it clean[i]er[/i]!)[/quote]
