Messy houses GOOD for kids?

Well I was just reading this article about how messy houses are supposed to be good for kids. The build up of germs are good to help you build your tolerance to them at a young age. I find this very interesting since everyone makes sure their houses are “de germed”. You can read more on this at http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/features_momsatwork/2009/01/messy-homes-are.html

    Oh great! ;) Actually exposure to germs is good for children so they can build up some immunity. It’s not good to live in a sterilized environment. I think there is a difference between a “junky” house and a “dirty” house. Ours is typically junky because of all the kids but not dirty.
