She's been married to him for 2.5 years and he hasn't killed her with his yucky germs yet. I think she'll be fine.

Yep. In fact, there's growing evidence that being super-hygenic correlates with emerging allergies in children. I wonder, given the amount of hyper-obsessiveness with hygiene on this thread, if there's a reason we're seeing growing numbers of allergies in US children when compared with the rest of the world.

I've read this too. There is way to much germaphobia in this country.

Trying to kill off every. single. germ. kills off the good ones as well as the bad ones.

I try not to wash my hands much and never use Purell (that stuff is such crap). My dad actually was like OP's DH and never washed his hands. He rarely got sick/colds/etc.

I think you PPs need to calm down. Can't believe the outrage.

Oh so let's all stop washing our hands... It will get so much better, right?

REmind me to not wash my hands after covering my cough and going for shaking your hands when we meet.

I have to confess that I don't wash my hands sometimes when I pee in the bathroom of my house but in a public place...ewww. After number 2 I always wash my hands.

I wouldn't let your husband touch your daughter until you see him washing his hands...

I basically agree that hands should be washed at key times. But everyone has their own standards. Dads have just as much right to decide when and how to manage these issues as moms.

OP, is your husband sick an unusual amount of the time? He would be the main sufferer of this lack of hygiene, if such suffering is happening at all. He probably has a good immune system from constant, low level exposure to all kinds of stuff.

I disagree. I think his DC would suffer more. As you state, his immune system has probably developed apace; he's still bringing this home to a young child who really shouldn't have Metro or bathroom germs go directly into her mouth.

Maybe in the short term, but the kid would get the iron immunity as well in time. It is how most of the world lives, no?

No, it's due to the amount of environmental toxins we are exposed to, in our food, clothes, homes, etc.

ITA. OP's husband is an extremist, but in general, yuppies are way too sanitized. Anecdotal tidbit: I taught in a DCPS school in Congress Heights, where most DCUMs would never venture. In the entire elementary school, there was not a SINGLE food allergy. A whole school of prek-5 kids. We had some lactose intolerance (which is super common in the AA community) and seasonal allergies to pollen, but not a ONE peanut allergy. Very interesting.....

He is that guy or at least one of those guys. And he is married. Interesting....

EWWWW!!!!

Maybe the solution is that we all should wash our hands less during day to day living (no question there are times, like surgery, that really need a higher level of cleanliness). Then we can all be more immune. I'm serious, why isn't that the answer?

Ditto.

How can OP give this guy a blow job? Yuck!

That is disgusting.

remind me not to shake hands at the office. ewww.
