I can deal with everything else that comes with having a child, but I have an irrational phobia of messy eating. Help.


My boy not long ago turned one, and is well into the messy eating stage. I'm usually the one that handles the messes; the poops, pees, sickness. Hell, I work in healthcare so that stuff doesn't bother me. Messy eating though, I just can't do. Just the thought of having a one year old with a messy/dirty face and hands roaming around makes me panic inside.My wife tells me I'm obsessive because if there's any kind of mess on his face and hands I make sure he's bathed and clean ideally, or wiped down fully with a warm, soapy cloth. With a one year old, you can imagine the logistics of this.Apart from this one issue, I tend to be the more easy going parent; generally as long as he's happy, healthy and loved everything else will sort itself out.What can I do to chill the fuck out about this? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2vVTyz2
