Guest missingsomething Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ok, so yesterday my motherhood skills were tested to the MAX. My precious, sweet, loving little 4 yr old came home from Nana's house (a Sunday afternoon visit with dinner) a tad bit grumpy and complaining that her tummy hurt. I have literally gotten food poisoning from this woman's chicken 3 times so I do not eat there - but I was at a friend's going away party so I could not save her! Anyways, she promptly threw up when she got home. I chalked it up to being car sick. Then we did a bath, read books, said prayers, and as I snuggled my sweet girl into her bed... she said her tummy hurt. I told her she would feel better soon - and bent over to kiss her. And just as I bent over... she exploded like poltergeist and THREW UP ON MY FACE. And then all over anything else. I was COVERED. She slept for a few hours and then got up several more times to throw up. I swear I can STILL smell it in my hair (despite 2 showers). GO ahead... Laugh... But Im wondering - what limits have you been pushed to as a parent?!!?!? And can you laugh about it now?:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciouschaos Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I not only laugh I comiserate. It used to be a long standing joke in our family that my two little wouldn't vomit unless they were in my arms. Dad could hold them for hours, hand them to me, and the spewing would occur.

Guest missingsomething Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ok so at least I'm in good company! ONLY as a mother could I possibly hope to stand someone throwing up in my face without totally freaking out and throwing up right back at them! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerGolden Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Poor baby, I hope she's feeling better now.*warning, they generally do throw up more than once with food poisoning.I usually keep a bucket close by lined with paper towels when mine come down with a stomach bug. So far, we've been lucky to not have endured food poisoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havejoy Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 When my oldest was 3 and my twins were a few months old I got them all to take a nap at the same time. I thought it would be a good time for me to get a nap too. Big mistake! My oldest had seen me mop and wax the kitchen floor that morning so when he woke up first he decided to surprise me by making the bathroom floor all nice and shiny like the kitchen. He used a large jar of vaseline to accomplish his goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Admittedly I'm not a mother, and never will be (might be a father some day though), I was watching my nephew once upon a time... *insert flashback graphical effect* He dirties his diaper and decided that he'll take it off before I have a chance to know that he has done. He walks back into his bedroom and removes it, so far so good in his 3 year old mind. But wait, what is this? He has poop all over his hands from his recent endevour, using all his cognitive power he posses he reaches a brillant conclusion, "I'll wipe it off on something!" he thinks. Now the only question is, "On what?" Once against using his native talent and now well honed and experience mind in the field of problem solving he realizes he has a material that will work perfectly, His hair. At this point I noticed him walking down the hallway buck naked wiping something into his hair, my curiosity piquied I begin to wonder what has led him to such a state as this, there is no worry though, and then my nose catches a sent in the air, faint but familar, it takes a few moments to register. The mind rebels at the evidence mounting against a conclusion it refuses to reach, finally its defenses fail, the conclusion is reached, "Oh no you didn't!" Not as squicky as the time I caught one of my nephews with a used tampon applicator in their mouth though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 My girls have bunk beds. Top of the list was when the lower bunk kid showed up at 3am to tell us that upper bunk kid threw up. My wife patted her on the head to say good job for telling us, and her hand went *squish*. Yep, upper bunk kid had thrown up on lower bunk kid.

Bini Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Not a parent but you'd be surprised how owning 3 dogs tests one's patience.. Not as squicky as the time I caught one of my nephews with a used tampon applicator in their mouth though.That's raunchy. Someone needs to take out the trash more often. If the bin is empty—there's nothing to dumpster dive for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) ...Eww.At least it was just the applicator.That's raunchy. Someone needs to take out the trash more often. If the bin is empty—there's nothing to dumpster dive for.Hey, don't look at me, I don't use the things. And for some reason my Mother and Sisters weren't in the habit of announcing to me they just used a tampon and I needed to take out the bathroom trash. :) Edited January 8, 2010 by Dravin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
