Infants can be adorable (particularly if they're your own) but the fact is that they are are squirming, shrieking little bags of snot, drool, piss and shit. Yet you think it's okay to wash your little germ factory in the sink, where it's almost certain to pee at some point, and very possibly will also release the contents of its bowels. However, some man urinating in his own sink and washing it away afterwards disgusts you.
Do you believe your infant is so pure that none of his/her bodily secretions really count? Or maybe what this is really about is you thinking deep down that men are dirty, disgusting creatures by nature? Or perhaps you're in mommy-mode, you've bought into the cleansing industry propaganda, and now you're seeing hidden dangers threatening your sprog lurking everywhere. If the last is the case, you might want to look into the research that suggests exposing small children to a wide range of non-pathogenic bacteria can have life-long benefits for them.
I cared for a terminal ill spouse while she was doubly incontinent for about six months, and then a few years later I was pretty much solely responsible for taking care of the hygiene needs of my infant daughter. Those experiences - along with a lifetime of dealing with the disgusting habits of a series of dogs and cats - have left me pretty blasé about urine.
Is it normal to pee in the sink?

That's really very funny.
