I do agree that we need to be exposed to germs. I am not a big cleaner by any means on a regular basis(I do things weekly and biweekly) but when someone is or has been sick, I disinfect and clean everything. Yes, we have been exposed to it already but I don't want my home covered in illness causing germs.

I also agree that parents blame everything and anything but the illness!! It can be very frustrating when we know that something is contagious because all the kids have the same symptoms yet the parents still claim that the doctor says it isn't contagious. I now ask for a doctor's note if it is something I believe is contagious and want proof that it isn't.
