I will ENCOURAGE my child to NOT play with your child...*EDITED*

[Anonymous]

if they are sucking on their fingers or hands. YUCK! I know its a hard habit to kick but I'm not risking my kids getting all of those disgusting germs. It's just so gross. I know I can't protect my children from everything but I will try to guide them to other children if I see your little one sucking on their fingers...Just saying! 

eta this just applies to kids 4 and older. I understand babies sucking on their fingers. 

Edit again. I don't know why you guys are getting so bent out of shape about this. I don't tell my kids specifically not to play with that child because they are gross and I don't tell thumb suckers to stay away from my kid. For example if there is a girl with a pink bow on the play ground and a girl with a blue bow on the playground. If the girl with the blue bow is sucking her thumb I will say to my child "why don't you go see if the girl with the pink bow would like to play" I don't snatch them away if they are already playing with the kids. I don't make a huge deal about it but if I can just get them away from a drooly hand I will. Yes kids need germs to build their immune system but I think they get enough contact with germs just by going to school and play parks. They don't NEED to have some kid wiping their drool on them.

It's pretty disgusting, but you really can't protect them from it all the time. The kid that sucks his/her thumb was just at park touching all the playground equipment right along with the nose picker, the butt scratcher, the sneezer etc, etc.

I absolutely judge who my child plays with. No bullies allowed!!!

Oh I see. Its ok for you to judge who your kids play with but its not ok for mine. Makes sense....

Quoting Anonymous:

Your child will never have opportunity to play with mine. We are very selective about the kinds of people we expose our DD to. I'm afraid your little asshole in training doesn't cut it.

You do realize that bodies NEED to be exposed to germs to grow an immune system right?

I am the same way it grosses me out like no other same with booger picking. I wont tell my kid to not play with them but I do try to at least encourage the kid to wash his/her hands/ SICK.
