Pets and child, intimacy to what extent

November 13th, 2009

This is a story in reader digest several years ago. She fell in love with him during studying abroad. They studied in different universities and she came across to know him because of a little of wild kittens in such a cold winter. He carefully fed the mother cats and their babies. They both loved animals very much. She believed for sure that a man loved and sympathized the animals would be a good husband and good father in the future. They married several years later and it was proved that he was really the man she had though. When she had their own children, she strictly requested pets not being allowed to enter the house because of the persistence in cleanness for children health. He and the children had to pet the stray cats when she was not available.

Do you experienced the same period like the mum? Do you think that pets would really spread skin illness to your children and make your kids sick? Do you feel safe to have close contact with pets after they have been injected into antibacterial vaccine and have a wash everyday when you are pregnant? Do you feel safe to let dogs lick and touch your baby when they are just a few months old? Do you think it is granted that pets are allowed to use the same bed with your child?
