Not gross anymore

When you become a parent, certain things that used to be disgusting  do not bother you anymore.  One example would be having your child vomit on you. last night my youngest daughter Jade did just that.  I knew she wasn't feeling good because she actually took a nap. Taking a nap is something she hates to do and, only takes when she is really sick.  When she woke up from her nap she was burning up. I was hoping it was because she had wrapped herself in her blanket. So I waited a while to take her temperature.  When I did take her temperature it was 101.2, not something to mess with. At this point she is really cranky and wants me to hold her.  I try to give her some Motrin for the fever and her decongestant because she is so stuffy. She wanted nothing to do with it, told me she wants her grandma.  So we go sit down with my mother on the couch. She tells me she wants grandma to give her the medicine, while I hold her.  So I have Jade on my lap and she is taking the Motrin. All of a suden she gags on it and, I feel her stomach lurch. that's when i think to myself "Oh crap here it comes". Next thing I know I am covered with what she ate for dinner. It's all over my shirt and my lap, also on the couch. I didn't freak out though because I knew it would upset jade even more. I camly set her on the floor and ask my boyfriend to change her clothes. Then I went down to the basement. So I could put my clothes right into the washing machine. Normally being covered it vomit would make you freak out. After becoming a parent it's just part of the job.

Ooooh- I remember those days. My son's stomach hates kid's motrin, try switching. Every time the boy takes it, he hurls it up. EVERY.FREAKING.TIME. Kid's Tylenol actually stays down, tho. Took a couple of incidents to figure that out.....cuz I'm slow. Hope your dear child starts feeling better. I hate when they hurt or are sick, makes me feel helpless. Good job on mastering your yuck factor! lol @ Rabbdouchebag!

My oldest had gastroenteritis a couple of years ago. She basically puked on me for three hours straight while we sat in the ER. Went through TWO shirts. I could tell you some poop stories, too, that are straight out of a horror movie.

Good response to a bad situation. And it is amazing how responses change when it's your own kid. Primary concern is with how they feel and not how disgusting the mess is. Hang in there, Mom!

I totally understand. Between my dog, cat and 2 year old, I am now almost completely oblivious to the yuck-factor with things that ooze, flow or are forcibly ejected from bodies. My latest fiasco: my dog is currently on a vomiting-spree after eating a bunch of turkey that was wrapped in tin-foil. Both the turkey and tin-foil are coming up.
