Kids are little petri dishes!

EVERY time, I mean EVERY time I go near my nieces and nephew I get sick. Once it was a pretty terrible flu that knocked me out for 3 weeks. I saw the kids Saturday and I've got a cold or something coming on. What is the deal with that?

Every teacher I know is always sick. I work in hospitals with the sickest of the sick, and staff is rarely ill.

On another note since school is back everyone is coughing and sneezing on the train, and I keep moving my seatChat Icon

My allergies bother me this time of the year, perhaps it's that and it's just coincidence?

Because they touch and sneeze on everything and none of them ( including their parents!) wash their hands well. My husband's best friend brought his kid over with this horrible hacking cough and runny nose. I was a Clorox wiping fool because my husband said I couldn't lock the kid in the back yard! lol

They really are walking germs. It's terrible. They constantly touch things, put dirty fingers in mouth and all over you, that your bound to get sick. I fo a couple yrs now I take airborn (or the knock off brand) t the onset of the signets symptom and I swear it works. Cold never ends up amounting to anything.

Re: Kids are little petri dishes!

I'm definitely sick and I ALWAYS get sick when I see my nieces and nephew. They don't cover their mouths,etc. I teach kids 1 day a week and rarely get sick from them but always from my nieces and nephew. UGH>

EYTA: It also doesn't help that my SIL lets the baby play all over the floor, including with the bottoms of people's shoes, and then lets her climb all over the kitchen table. UGH.

I know I'm not a mom so I don't know what it is to have 3 kids but UGH. I could not live like that..Chat Icon I'm such a germophobe.
