With three kids in school, a toddler in the house at least three days a week, and one kid in contact sports, our house is a cesspool. When directly touching bodily fluids, most of my caregivers prefer gloves, but we accept inevitable exposure to infectious stuff and are somewhat flexible on use of gloves. We understand the risks involved and are okay with accepting those risks. I fully understand that other families may choose differently. Whatever works well for their situation!
