YUCK ....

This morning I went to use my toothbrush and it was already wet. This tells me someone in the house used it. EWWWWWWW ..... could have been any one of my four kids .. or my 'future babies daddy'. Kids were gone to school so I never got a chance to ask them ... the babies daddy swears it wasn't him!  BUT he says its not gross for him to use my toothbrush. He claims since we kiss ... and have had sex and what not we have exchanged enough germs but .... let me tell you either way GROSS! I threw my toothbrush away and will be getting a new one. I just would never share a toothbrush no matter who it was with!

What are your veiws on it?

 

....... another funny toothbrush story....

When my youngest son was 2 years old he could not reach the sink. He had a step stool to stand on to help him. He would go in the bathroom and brush his teeth. I thought he was using his step stool or climbing on to the toilet seat lid like he normally would. Well one day I walked into the bathroom to find him dipping MY toothbrush in the toilet!!!!! HA .. I was so grossed out I almost threw up I couldn't get the toothbrush into the garbage fast enough! Then I started thinking oh my goodness I hope he hasn't been doing this all along to brush his teeth .. or with my toothbrush! He's always wanted to brush his teeth several times a day .. so I didn't go with him each time. After this incident I did though!  AND I put my toothbrush up high after that!

 

You have any funny toothbrush stories?

No, no, NO! I have a thing about that. I won't even drink after someone else.

I don't have any funny stories relating to toothbrushes. Your are funny though .... and gross. lol
Marci M. Oct 24, 2007, 2:57pm EDT
No way! If I even suspect my toothbrush has been used by someone else I get a new one! lol

If your toothbrush is wet ..... throw it out! They're only about a dollar at the discount stores. Buy another one. In fact, I keep some extras on hand.

Your "future baby's daddy" is funny. I think there's a difference between kissing and sharing a toothbrush.
Dena A. Oct 24, 2007, 3:04pm EDT
me too .... ewww .. He says both are on the mouth but YUCK!!!!! I threw the toothbrush out. I suspect HE used it though. Men are so gross sometimes!
lynn a. Oct 24, 2007, 3:05pm EDT
I'm with you this is gross. I replace my toothbrush every 2 to 3 weeks. I can't even stand using my own toothbrush for very long.
Leslie "Missy" T. Oct 24, 2007, 3:05pm EDT
That is one thing I won't share. To me it's just gross. My youngest son did the whole toothbrush in the toilet thing only it wasn't mine, it was his sisters. Needless to say she had to have a new one.
necee t. Oct 24, 2007, 3:06pm EDT
no, i will not use another persons toothbrush.... eeewwww... if i get in a bind and do not have one handy, i'll just put toothpaste on my finger and do a quickie until i find a toothbrush...
LEЯA © Politcally Incorrect M. Oct 24, 2007, 3:07pm EDT
You know, Dena, I think it was him, too. LOL
Bridget ♥ Oct 24, 2007, 3:08pm EDT
I'll admit hubby and I have shared on one or two occasions! No big deal with him!
Heather W. Oct 24, 2007, 3:08pm EDT
Eww. That does sound kinda gross.
Robyn F. Oct 24, 2007, 3:10pm EDT
if the baby daddy doesnt see anything wrong with it, it was probably him! my (ex) boyfriend used to share his 9 yo daughters till he got around to getting one,(jeez, go out and but a a few), sharing family germs is one thing but sharing the yuckiness on a toothbrush is too NASTY!!!!!!!!!!! if im ever w/o one, i do the toothpaste and finger brushing.
Dena A. Oct 24, 2007, 3:13pm EDT
me too ... I would use my finger or mouth wash and toothpaste alone. I would NEVER use anyone elses toothbrush. I think I would go without first!
Ghostly Ghoul Oct 24, 2007, 3:13pm EDT
With my husband I would, if I had too. I mean if i felt i had to brush like after garlic bread, and my husband's was there I would. I mean we do kiss, and we do have two kids..... so we've shared a lot of germs and such before. So if I had to I would. But I wouldn't do it just to save money or anything like that.
ann c. Oct 24, 2007, 3:30pm EDT
I'd share mine with my husband or kids, no one else!
Tiffany G. Oct 24, 2007, 3:45pm EDT
lol this is soo funny! I would not share unless I had to! I think my husband had to use mine once wehn on vacation and I one morning I accidently used his and did not even notice until I was done! My kids dont really mess with anyones but there own.
Deeanna M. Oct 24, 2007, 4:34pm EDT
on rare occaisions under the right circumstances i will use my hubbies toothbrush but i rinse it with HOT water and my thumb before and after
Ruth F. Oct 24, 2007, 4:35pm EDT
We have 4 kids in my family, myself being one of them, and I use to care if someone used mine, but then mine started to get used by whoever and I almost don't care anymore, since I think it would kind of weird to write my name on my toothbrush. Although I really don't like sharing toothbrushes there's really nothing I can do about it.
J F. Oct 24, 2007, 4:38pm EDT
Throw it out. Can get one for $1.00 or use your finger and toothpaste till you get one. I always keep extras in the home because you should replace every few months. Stock up.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode. Ugh. No... I'd rather forgo toothbrushing than use one that someone else has had in their mouth.
LEЯA © Politcally Incorrect M. Oct 24, 2007, 5:25pm EDT
I saw that episode! I love Seinfeld! LOL
Janet H. Oct 24, 2007, 9:34pm EDT
The cats often chew on my toothbrush when its in its holder in the bathroom. I rinse it off and use it anyway. However, if another person used it, no way would I use it afterwards.
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Oct 24, 2007, 11:10pm EDT
I won't share a toothbrush either.
Barb M Oct 25, 2007, 1:39am EDT
YUCK~~ run it though the dishwasher - until you can buy a new one!! I do that anyway to clean them after colds.
Sarah (I want points) Oct 25, 2007, 11:22am EDT
Yikes!!! Sharing a toothbrush is just icky to me. I'm not sure why, but I just don't like it.
not a chance
denise e Nov 18, 2007, 12:11pm EST
