[blparent] [Bulk] bathing an infant

[Veronica Smith]

Pipi, to me you are making perfect sense.  I know for a fact that sighted
mothers also have to lift up the penis to clean around it and I don't
believe that anyone would say she is being a pervert in any way.  The same
goes for dad's wiping their daughters.  It just has to be done. V

Elizabeth,
I don't want to step on any toes here, but feel I need to speak up. Society 
can go to h***  if they can't tell the differnece between a blind person 
making sure their child is clean and someone molesting their child. You have

to do what you have to do to take care of your kid. Even if that is being 
more hands on than a sighted person would be. Please don't let the fear of 
what others think stop you from doing things such as swimming or savaing 
wipes.
Hope I'm making sense here.
Pipi
