Exactly!!! Thank you for the brilliant illustration, and excuse me while I go and puke. ;)

OH MY GOD! I was starting to think that The Husband was right in calling me a bit nutty for not sharing drinks with my kids! I absolutely refuse to share a drink. And for anyone who wonders why, I dare you to try the following……..

Give a 2 year old child an oreo cookie.
Watch the child eat the cookie.
Offer the child a cup of water to drink.
When the child is done drinking, take the cup back and look at the water.
How much of that cookie is now floating in the water???

I rest my case.
It’s just disgusting and wrong.

I'm waiting until spring to introduce cups without covers, but I don't like sharing drinks with anyone and assume they'll be no exception. I do sometimes nibble their leftover dino-nuggets, but only the side that hasn't been sampled/slobbered. .-= Deb´s last blog ..Sunday snippets =-.

I’m with you on this. I pull boogers out of the twins’ noses with my bare hands. And I’m STILL changing their three year old size diapers. Hey – just today, I sniffed at something brown on the back of my hand to see if it was poop (epilogue: it was)… But I can’t drink their backwash. Must be universal.

This is totally funny. Kids and their crap. Their floaties. Their slobbery mouths–yup, the same ones we kiss but EW…they are NOT as cute when they are french-kissing my Vitamin Water Dammit!

I used to share everything and then I drew a line. Mama’s got to have a few things that are off limits. So stay away from that Cabernet little darlin!

Mine are all grown now but I remember that feeling very well. IF I HAD to share, I would just give it to them. Isn’t that terrible. I agree… backwash is just gross. I don’t even like drinking after my husband! LOL

Sometimes I’ll close my eyes and take a quick slug of Hollis’ water if I’m dying for some – you know, like I’m drinking whiskey or something.

Although, I did find myself eating something off his shirt the other day like a chimp… so my standards aren’t all that high, I suppose.

Oooh! Now that you mention it, I do tend to avoid my toddler’s cup whenever it is offered!

Oh, I totally agree! No eating after and definitely no drinking after my son. “We don’t share cups” is just the family policy, the only problems being that 1) my husband’s family shares drinks all the time (ew) and 2.) my son caught my husband and I sharing a drink and now is insulted. My husband started to comment that “it’s not like we don’t swap fluids” IN FRONT of my son, but a quick gut punch took care of that.
