This article is crazy! I can’t believe how far these parents (and other people in charge of kids) have gone. And I thought I was bad with my Germ-X pump “available” in the house!

You know, my mom freaks out when we let our daughter eat after playing with sticks, play in the floor, that sort of thing. She also insisted on mopping the floor every day when I was a baby to keep it clean. My husband’s family never cleaned anything; we joke that he was raised in “raw sewage.” Today, he rarely gets sick—once a year, tops, usually less—and I am sick every couple of months at the least! That’s just one example, but it is food for thought.
