Reassurance About 'Germs'
My FIL was diagnosed with Alzheimers as I dated my husband. Things have progressed quickly, and about last year, he couldnt be left alone, but my MIL still needs to work full time. I'm a SAHM, so I volunteered to help out once a week, bring my toddler over and keep him company. Just before Easter, MIL broke down, took on a weekend job, and put him in a care home. He has taken a big step down (sadly) and progressed further.
I kind of dread visiting him once a week in the care home because of 'germs'. He is in a nice care home, but I still cringe when I sit with my daughter on the floor to play with the toys my MIL provided and kind of just talk out loud to hang out with my FIL. When we leave, I use the provided hand sanitizer on my daughter and myself, bathe her whem we get home and everyone changes clothes.
Am I freaking out too much? Is the sanitize+bath+clothes change enough? Too much? We go to parks, libraries, run around malls, so am I being a total hypocrite?
