Dear Baby

Two days ago, I was gripped by a horrible realization.

One day, I will have to take my child into a public restroom. and even worse, it would probably be impossible to keep them from touching things.

oh… my…god…

Public restrooms are the bain of my existence. I am not normally a germaphobe - but I have zero desire to share a bathroom with perfect strangers. I usually walk in, kick open the stall door, hover of the toilet, use my foot to flush and scurry to wash my hand before whatever black plague I picked up in the stall sinks in. Public restrooms are my worst nightmare (and don’t even get me STARTED on port a potties)

So someone with experience, please tell me how one actually takes a child to use a public restroom without first wrapping them in a layer of plastic?

Why am I even worried about these things now? I have no idea. But this has really been weighing on me since the idea popped into my head.  Can you put my mind at ease so I can go back to worrying about folic acid intake and prenatal yoga classes?

Love,

M
