Well, thank you!

And yeah, I was horrified. I have a little germ thing as well--I once decided to count the number of times a day I wash my hands, and lost count after fifty and that was around noon so I hadn't even gotten into something like making dinner yet, where I wash them constantly--but even without that, and even knowing that babies and toddlers can be kind of gross, I was really shocked. Sure, the kid needs a bath, but you should be able to clean her up right here, too. You should have been cleaning her hands and face after everything she ate, ffs, that's just what you do. I can't count the number of times I've done things like wipe snot off babies's noses with my bare hands because it was about to reach their mouths or something (and then washed my hands, of course), you just...you keep your baby as clean as possible and worry about yourself later. You don't leave a little one with sticky dirt everywhere and shrug like there's nothing you can do, that's what baby wipes and tissues and such are for.

(Babies are gross, lol. It just doesn't seem or feel gross because they're so adorable and sweet, but objectively they can be pretty disgusting.)

No argument from me. And it is different when they're your kids. And yeah, it's basically called parenting, something fats shouldn't be allowed to do. I feel bad for that kid because I know what's in its future. Then I feel bad for us.
