I don't know if I have a real 'parenting style' yet. Avery is only 3 months old. I do know that if she didn't have CF I would be in a constant state of cleaning. I always thought I was a clean person, but CF opens your eyes to all of the germs! I can spot a cold across the grocery store and I avoid the aisle like the plague. I sanitized the house when we all had a cold - light switches, sheets, sinks, handles, etc. I wouldn't ask everyone that touches my baby to wash their hands. I wouldn't be on pins and needles when a stranger walks up to the car seat to tell me how beautiful she is for fear they might touch her. I wouldn't use my elbows to push the elevator door when we are at clinic. My husband by the way thinks I am nuts!
