When your kid throws up do you:

I panic.. pick them up, and run to the bathroom with them. Creating a line of puke all the way there. EVERY TIME. Thankfully, my 3yo.. who is our puker, makes it to the bathroom 99.9% of the time before she blows.

I picked second from the bottom. Ya know...just cuz.

OMG. . .flashbacks! My now 14 y/o was the Prince of Puke! He graced practically every restaurant in Pensacola, once pegging the back of a waitress's leg!

I would try to get him to the bathroom in time, a futile undertaking. Fortunately, he outgrew it. Whew!

 

[LaraK]

Yeah, my puker is unpredictable and full of puke. I catch it in my hands at this point. Much better than the one time I was in his room and laying on the floor. Right as I passed him overhead to hand him to his father he puked and I caught it in my....ugh, I hate that memory.

What parent hasn't caught puke in their hands?

 

[Bluestars]

I try to find something to catch the throw up, but it's never going to be my hands! If they can't make it to the toilet, there's nothing I can do but clean up the mess afterwards. The worst scenario is when they throw up in a car. Blech.

How about all of the above??!?

My kids are pukers - yay. Especially DS11 who has motion sickness and reflux - he tends to throw up at night if he's eaten too much junk too close to bed, or if we've been traveling by car or plane all day. Mine also seem to catch every stomach bug that goes around. It's just their nature. They've puked in their beds, in mine, all over the floor, on the sofa, on the kitchen table, in the car, in grandma's bed, at AKL in the room, at school, etc. WHY ME?!?!

Hands? Your kids must not be champion pukers like mine. If we aren't near a receptacle (toilet, sink, trash can) point them away from me and deal with the aftermath later. Bleeech.

Mom of the Princess of Puke here we might need to introduce our children in a few years

DD has puked in every single state we have ever visited. We were in Phoenix, AZ airport for a 1/2 hour layover, she puked while in the boarding line.

My DD at the age of 16 months cleared out a WDW bus after she yacked all over her 2 (childless) uncles and the entire front section of the bus! We were mortified and yet in typical Disney fashion our driver was awesome, she said "no worries, I just might get off a little earlier tonight"

My kids are bowl trained When DD is not feeling well, she carries a big bowl with her around the house. There are plastic bags in her backpack, desk at school and in all our vehicles along with the vehicles of close friends.

What parent hasn't caught puke in their hands?

Me.
Never did.
Never will.

I'll grab a blanket, towel, even my shirt before I'd "catch it in my hands".
I can bleach a towel, but what if some puke germs got under my fingernails and started to grow something up there?

 

[Tink888]

What parent hasn't caught puke in their hands?

Not this one!! Srubbing it up off the floor I can handle. Catching it in my hands, no way. Ick.

The milestone no one ever talks about is when your kids reach the age that they can make it to the bathroom before hurling. Woohoo!!

Reminds me of the time DS11 got sick on the last 3 hour stretch of a drive home from Disney. We were pulling over every twenty minutes! Boy did those WDW bags come in handy!!

DD#1 was a puker at birth... so much so she was tube fed (intestine NOT stomach) for the first 3 months of her life.. it was bad.. very very bad.

Read and understood...and I'm not a man.

 

[hereyago]

i voted point that kid away from me. eeewwww. If i see her puke, I am going to puke. I will get her a damp rag to wipe her mouth, but i would just add to it.

 

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

If he's not near a toilet or the sink (and when are they EVER), I try to catch it in my hands or my shirt so it doesn't make a mess. Once he's thrown up once though, we keep a big mixing bowl near by just in case he decides to do it again.

 

[redshoes]

This thread is very timely, I had a puker this weekend (the germ filled life of a first grader finally caught up to my oldest). He made it to the bathroom before he lost it, which was reason to celebrate and I calmly stayed with him til he was done without puking myself which is a milestone in motherhood for me .

 

[lulugirl]

If there is no time to grab a bowl or towel I don't think twice about catching it w/ my hands.....puke doesn't scare me (as long as said puke belongs to my offspring).

 

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

Puke doesn't scare me either, as long as it's mine or my kid's.

I have seen kids throw up outside of stores before and once, at the mall, I saw a mom holding her toddler who was throwing up in a large plastic cup frome one of the food court resteraunts while mom (totally oblivious of course) yaks on her cellphone.
