NO way would I let my son touch bird poop. Your MIL probably was trying to use it as some sort of example but that was a bad example to use! Birds have so many diseases! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152870 Wed, 09 May 2012 12:14:37 +0000 autumnlove 152870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bird poop is disgusting!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152863 Wed, 09 May 2012 12:08:30 +0000 Andrea 152863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: who knows, she has some crazy views about child rearing. She thinks that kids should never cry or misbehave. She called a kid "stupid" in Target for crying. The girl was about 2 and she called her stupid!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152679 Wed, 09 May 2012 08:49:44 +0000 MrsLilybugg 152679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: OMG that sounds AWFUL!! That happened to me once, in high school. I was walking to the train to go to work and a bird pooped on my head too. These college girls laughed at me. It was horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152649 Wed, 09 May 2012 08:39:37 +0000 looch 152649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On purpose, like "here's some bird poop, why don't you go roll around in it," no. But shit happens, lol, so it can't be avoided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152640 Wed, 09 May 2012 08:35:12 +0000 Alivoo01 152640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew!!!

IF my daughter touched it, I would just make sure we washed her hands but yeah, if I saw something covered in it, I would make sure she didn't touch it, too!</p> <p>@andrea - was MIL looking to start an argument or something?</p> <p>@artbee - GAH!

And this is coming from someone that owns a bird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152429 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:53:42 +0000 sslm 152429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OH MY GOD. That's disgusting!!!!! I had to fish geese poop out of my dog's mouth once and I almost hurled. Bird poop is definitely not something anyone should touch. Gross. Yuck. Ack.</p> <p>**Disclaimer: I have a pretty bad bird phobia... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152422 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:48:58 +0000 heffalump 152422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck. If you were over protective you wouldn't have let her in that playground today, or lego land at all because there are so many germs in those places.</p> <p>Funny non related bird poop story. When I was on an Israel trip it was a girl's birthday so we had cake for her. We were outside singing happy birthday and passing out cake, and a bird poo'd on a guy's face. The birthday girl thought it was icing and licked it off, before he could say anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152396 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:17:35 +0000 Andrea 152396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: i should tell her that part about child protective services!! </p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: omg, that is terrible. now that is the best reason not to be touching bird poop!!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: we were at legoland and there was this railing that was just COMPLETELY COVERED in bird poop so i told the LO not to touch the railing. but apparently, my MIL thought i was being over-protective. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152378 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:06:22 +0000 chopsuey 152378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BIRD POOp is so nasty. :P I would let her touch it. If she happened to touch if while playing I probably wouldn't have a cow and would just wash her hands.<br /> @Rubies: they say it's good luck when a bird poops on you! :D haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152377 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:06:03 +0000 Grace 152377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ewwwwwwww, why?!?!?!? I'm all about letting kids play in the dirt and build their immune systems, but even I draw the line at feces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152376 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:04:28 +0000 cyneswith 152376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Say what? No, I wouldn't let my LO intentionally touch any kind of feces. All for letting them get dirty, so long as they are cleaned as soon as they come in... But they need to know that you don't touch any form of poop, and they need to know that bird poop is in that category. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152375 Tue, 08 May 2012 19:00:17 +0000 Rubies 152375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATE bird poo! Last summer when I was freakin' pregnant (like, 36 weeks?) I was downtown and an ugly stupid bird shat on my head! It dripped down my shoulder and again on my leg. I HATE bird poop! Anyway, to answer you question, no, I will NEVER let LO touch bird poop! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152374 Tue, 08 May 2012 18:57:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 152374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG GROSS!!! It's one thing to get a few germs here and there but bird poop has all sorts of god knows what in it.</p> <p>My mom contracted a really nasty illness from bird poop. She had to have a major surgery and was out of work for four months. The docs thought she got it from working in her flower beds underneath a bird feeder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152362 Tue, 08 May 2012 18:35:19 +0000 MamaMoose 152362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh. My. God. Birds carry a TON of diseases. If I saw someone letting their kid touch bird poo I'd probably call child services!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-lo-touch-bird-poop#post-152358 Tue, 08 May 2012 18:32:37 +0000 Andrea 152358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL mocked me today about not letting the LO touch BIRD POOP!! Am I abnormal or would you really let your LO touch poop? I guess her general point was that she thinks I keep the LO too clean and used that as an example, which I think was the worst example ever. I just told her that I disagreed and moved on! </p>
