my husband "bathed" our ten month old daughter with a rag i'd used to clean the tub. dr. bronner's baby formula + mrs. meyers lemon scrub - no soap scum on that girl.

I love how Hal said "anymore." You know this has been happening for weeks, if not months! Thing is, she's probably been exposed to so many germs and now has a super-duper immune system!!!

while i was blow drying my hair my 15 month old daughter climbed into the toilet and sat there... indian style... like it was a new seat just her size. i told hubs to get the camera (while i screamed and freaked out and laughed) but he deemed it child abuse to not imediately remove her. we told my mil and she bought us a child proofing kit.. complete with toilet lock.

I'm just going to go clean the toilet now, and I think when i'm done I'm just gonna clean it again. Also I'm from Aus too and can't read the babble posts.

I think I need to wash my hands just thinking about that. Ugg... MEN!! :-)

2009-11-12T13:33:28.622-08:00

I can pretty much guarantee that this exact scene will play out in our house in the not-too-distant future. Except at the end Mr. Perfect will still be saying "What? What? What's the big deal?!" Ugh. :)

2009-11-12T02:39:55.684-08:00

Yes, it's scary thinking about all the germs on the toilet. But then, when you're 17, you get drunk and spend the evening throwing up in the toilet, washing your hands in the flushing water and then attempting to drink from the bowl.

Or. Maybe that's just me (and I can thankfully say that was over 10 years ago).

Well, you know she's so damn cute that I'd probably let her do whatever the heck she wanted too... ; )

2009-11-11T15:08:14.689-08:00

So ashamed. My husband is actually the one running around WTFing in our house begging me to get the babies out of the bathrooms and off of the toliets.

Yikes, I guess he isn't crazy, you all agree with him about this!

This really makes you wonder about what is acceptable behavior in men's restrooms. Makes me want to walk around all day with Lysol wipe hankies.

Hi Rebecca,

I'm the first anonymous poster with the Babble problem. With the feed link, I am able to read the 25 most recent articles. That's good enough for me. Thank you so much for the solution. :-)

2009-11-10T19:47:55.327-08:00

My 22 month old daughter was in the bathroom flushing throughout dinner tonight. It was the most peaceful dinner my husband and I have had in weeks! He finally went in to check on her, and well, things were WET AND COLD. Things like her hands, her shirt and her hair. All we could do was laugh.

2009-11-10T18:45:45.596-08:00

Men definitely have a different "gross-out" and germ scale than most women do. That being said, let's all please remember that a baby can very easily drown in a toilet, it's a pretty common occurrence, so even if the germs don't freak you out, please keep your baby away from the toilet!

2009-11-10T17:46:20.849-08:00

My kids know the bathroom door has to be closed all the time, My 20-month-old will happily splash in the toilet all day. Plus now she wants to "go potty" (sit on it and get a potty candy) 50 million times a day, and I'm sure if I turn my back for a second and she makes it in there, she'll either have her hands in the toilet or fall and crack her head trying to climb on.

2009-11-10T17:27:56.077-08:00

I have been there! I never thought the words "Stop Licking the Toilet!" would even come out of my mouth. And then I had kids!

LOL, I'm with you on this one! ;o)

2009-11-10T14:37:52.358-08:00

Put me in the minority (but maybe more of us will admit it?) that says oh well, she's washable, whatever. Builds a good immune system. I'm trying to think of what would really gross me out and I'm hard pressed to come up with anything that makes me THAT upset. (and I'm a nurse!)

2009-11-10T14:05:20.341-08:00

i'm with you on this one... and would've responded the same way.

2009-11-10T13:45:56.092-08:00

I think men don't have the same germ radar gene that women have. I think my husband would do the same and I would be equally horrified.

I have to admit I've let her play with tampons and breastpads--clean ones of course. And they are sterile so it passes the germ test in my book.

2009-11-10T12:49:43.798-08:00

meh, my kid plays in/around the toilet all the time. she loves to watch it be flushed, too. i figure this will help toilet training be a not too foreign concept in the near future. so, such things don't bother me, but then, i'm a dirty hippe.

Rebecca: tell the truth -- did you post this story so you could show Hal, "LOOK HOW OUTRAGED THE GIRLS ARE ABOUT THE GROSS TOILET INCIDENT?!"

(I totally woulda.)
