I just need to vent.........(discla imer...I know it's not his fault but still doesn't make it any easier to deal with)

I am so done with this drooling and his snotty runny nose!! It is grossing me out, grossing the other kids out and nothing is safe from the drool!! We went to a public park today...the poor swing was literally wet when I took him out of it. He is in his 3rd shirt of the day and I think 4th bib? (would have been more like 6-8 but we were outside) We spent 2 hours outside this morning and his belt on the stroller was soaked and his rain jacket is disgusting.

I have been giving him only a cup with a straw, teaching him the difference between a "wet" and a "dry" chin, massaging his cheeks, encouraging him to swallow and to keep his mouth closed. (all of these were tips I read online) and none of it is helping! I NEVER EVER use hand sanitizer (don't like the stuff and would rather just wash my hands) but I now don't go anywhere without it. I have gone through countless kleenax's, am doing bib laundry during the day ( I need to buy more but can't find any good ones) and am constantly cleaning the toys and wiping/moping the floor and play mats.

I don't know what to do anymore!! I know it's not his fault and there likely isn't much I can do to stop it but I don't know how to deal with it anymore either. I am not a person who terms a child but I want to term him!! ( I would never but I also wouldn't be hurt if they pulled him out. Unfortunately, mom loves me and is so happy that he's happy here and that he is now drinking whole milk instead of breastmilk)

Are there any "problems" out there that would be a cause for this much drooling at this age?? It is not normal!! It is beyond excessive in my mind.

Thanks for letting me vent
