I have just gone to dispose of wee in the potty and tripped over the bloody bathmat that I was supposed to have washed today but forgot

I managed a kind of hop and save so that the potty and wee went in the sink.

All over my toothbrush Hmm

But thats not the gross bit. The gross bit was I have actually just weighed up the pro's and cons of either cleaning and using my toothbrush vs borrowing dh's until I can be bothered to fetch a new one.

Seriously? At what point did I stoop to the level where I consider which is preferable, a piss on toothbrush used by myself, or a toothbrush used by my husband.

AIBU to ask which you'd pick?
Offsprings piss or OH mouth germs?

My dp and I share a toothbrush so no comparison for me Blush

BatCave · 19/10/2012 16:39

I think I'd go for offsprings piss Shock given the choice

Sad but true, if it's any consolation I absentmindedly ate a bogie my toddler gave me while I was busy trying to get baby to latch on earlier...

cheekydevil · 19/10/2012 16:40

God, I would go with the piss

HoneyDragon · 19/10/2012 16:40

Batcave That helps, thankyou Grin

I'm sure you've shared more than just your DH's toothbrush in the past Wink

I don't see the problem with using it as long as he doesn't mind?

BadgersGhostlyRetreatWoo · 19/10/2012 16:42

my DH keeps using my toothbrush by mistake thicko as his is the BLUE one ffs so it's a no brainer for me

terribly bad luck though honey

BatCave · 19/10/2012 16:43

You evidently haven't seen my husbands toothbrush Worra ;)

HoneyDragon - happy to be of service!

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 19/10/2012 16:45

Bleurgh, would rather go with fresh baby wee (when toothbrush has been washed in hot soapy water, obviously) than use my oh's uncleaned toothbrush. Not that there's anything wrong with him, I just don't do sharing of toothbrushes!

valiumredhead · 19/10/2012 16:46

You share a toothbrush???? Eeeeek!

Latara · 19/10/2012 16:48

Go to the corner shop. Buy a new toothbrush.

Do not choose either of the other 2 choices... nooooo....

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 19/10/2012 16:48

I'd take my chances with the pissy toothbrush tooBlush

I have a real aversion to the sharing of toothbrushes, it's just not right! Can't explain it, just think its really rank.....

lljkk · 19/10/2012 16:48

I always have spare toothbrushes in the cabinet.
See? Hoarding instincts ARE a good thing.

Lueji · 19/10/2012 16:48

Urine is sterile, and you have already been in contact (one assumes) with your OH's mouth germs.

Either should be fine.

:o

howelsabout · 19/10/2012 16:50

i can understand sharing a toothbrush in such circumstaces but to only have one between you both is just gross

OTheEldritchManateesOfMadness · 19/10/2012 16:51

DH toothbrush. No contest.

CaliforniaLeaving · 19/10/2012 16:51

Ewwww sharing toothbrushes. I keep new ones in the cupboard I buy a multipack in case of accidental dropping into the loo (it has happened in my house so I am now prepared)
I'd just go shopping an get my own.

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 19/10/2012 16:54

Dunk wee toothbrush in boiling water and use that. I've seen the state of dh's and I'd take wee any day.

And bogey eating mummy - I have been known to clear a very snotty baby's nose by, um, sucking on it, so you're not alone. If that helps.

HoneyDragon · 19/10/2012 16:55

Mine is the last spare tooth brush.

I keep think pee is preferable to dh mouth germs, but then I do put my tongue in his mouth.

CaptainKirksNipples · 19/10/2012 16:56

Really? DH's obviously! Why would you choose pee germs over mouth germs you have shared before?

CaptainKirksNipples · 19/10/2012 16:56

Really had to resist the urge to say I've had worse in my mouth btw!

peeriebear · 19/10/2012 16:59

Because I don't lick his teeth clean when I kiss him! I'd wash and use the baby wee one!

EricNorthmansFangBanger · 19/10/2012 17:00

Batcave - you've really made me giggle, thank you Thanks

I think I'd either go buy a new one or, the more likely option, share DH's after rinsing it thoroughly Grin

NickNacks · 19/10/2012 17:01

Am I the only one who'd rather not brush my teeth?

Go to the shop. Get DH to go to the shop. Get a neighbour to go to the shop. Post rough location and an MNer will go to the shop for you.

Failing that, toothpaste on a finger tonight and shop first thing tomorrow.
