[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.

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]

You don't wash your hands to prevent yourself from spreading germs around on other surfaces; you wash your hands so (as an example) when you rub your eyes you don't introduce a cold virus. Bacteria & viruses are everywhere; what matters is not introducing them internally. Washing your hands after using the bathroom isn't as important as washing hands before you touch your eyes/nose/mouth, when you're preparing food (especially food that won't be cooked), before operating on someone or delivering their baby, etc.
