Little by Little
Here’s a quick lesson on hand sanitizer, people. First, hand sanitizer is flammable, and if you get too close to a fire, your hands might go up in blazes. Second, hand sanitizer shouldn’t be your go-to method of killing germs. Only use it when water and soap aren’t available.
Third, don’t use the stuff excessively. Sure, you want your kids to be as germ-free as possible, but being exposed to germs will teach our little one’s immune systems what and how to fight them. So, in short: go easy on hand sanitizer. It’s not a miracle solution that gets rid of all of your problems.
Who’s Crying?
One day, after putting their elder child to sleep, the OP went downstairs to watch some TV. Not long after, they heard crying from above, but it was like a baby’s crying that didn’t match the crying of their child. So, they ignored it, thinking it was part of the TV program or something.
Then it dawned on them. The crying was actually coming from the nursery! You see, they had a second child that they’d just brought back from the hospital. You’re probably wondering how they forgot they had two kids. Hey, some ridiculous things happen, and this is one of them.
