Having a conversation with a friend with older dc. I comment that if something falls on floor it is probably ok to eat as long as floor clean etc. She say o no I would do that due to training bla bla.
Than in same conversation No I wouldn't immunize my children now. It best if they pick up illnesses naturally as it boosts immune stystem etc etc.
Aibu to think this is a tad hypocritical.

I think she's an idiot.

Unrelated.

catgirl1976 · 14/06/2014 20:40

Unrelated other than she's a bit of an idiot on both counts.

I would also say they are unrelated therefore not hypocritical.

But I would say she is being an idiot. Food off the floor is no biggie if the floor is clean. However, not vaccinating your children?? Why would anyone not do that by choice??

(disclaimer: obviously some DC may have medical issues that prevent vaccination. I'm by no means an expert but I don't know anyone that would willingly put their DC at risk)

Why thank you muchly whenshe. Its my life motto Wink.

Not vaccinating unless specific reasons against is madness. Eating a bit of food off a cleanish floor is normal
Not really hypocritical just not thought through

Slightly hypocritical I think. Eating food off the floor gives you access to germs, thus building up an immunity... I think, but I'm not a scientist so not sure on that one. So if she's for natural immunity instead of vaccinations, it's a bit odd to be against a bit of floor food
