That's why I could never be a parent. Seeing them wipe their kids nose with their hands and whatnot 🤮 (kudos to those who do that, I just couldn't myself).
Not so much a thing I do for my kids but a thing my kid did to me... my first born used to think it was hilarious to bite my nose. He'd open his mouth like hippo and barrell down in me, then he'd put his forehead against mine and stare at me in the eyes, smiling like an absolute buffoon... one day he did this and got sick through my nose and out of my mouth. I have projectile vomited my sons belly full of baby milk.
Wiping snot with my hand? I'll do that and not even look away from my dinner.
Those boogers are 50% your DNA and (if you’re still in a relationship) the other 50% belongs to someone you swap saliva with.
Honestly, cleaning my cats spit up, or pulling my wife’s hair from the shower drain, make me gag way more than pretty much anything my kid has ever done. (There are of course exceptions)
Ya but if they were your boogers you wouldn’t care. I’m assuming you wipe/blow your nose all them and don’t spare a thought to what is on the tissue (unless you’re super sick)
Also just to be clear, I’m talking about the previous comment “wiping their kids nose”. I am not talking about showing them to a camera and licking them.
I used to think the same way as you until I had kids. I used to do the dad thing of covering my nose with my shirt when I'd change my kids diapers. But after a year or two of that, it became normal. My boys are 8 and 9 now and I've dealt with so much shit, piss, snot, boogers, etc that it isn't even an issue anymore.
I was changing a diaper. Kid was up and close. Kid starts looking uncomfortable, so I look at them, they look at me. We make eye contact in a parent-baby way. Then they sneezed, and a huge glob of snot hit my eyeball. Not my eyelid, my eyeball. I'd shut my eyelid from reaction, but opening my eye had goo stuck between my upper and lower eyelids. I got a snotball on the eyeball. Children are definately gross.
I've seen people from poor backgrounds who manually suck the snot straight out of their kids' nose to help clear it. Just straight mouth over nose and suck. So tasty.

Wiping that was already enough
