How much do you want to bet?
My entire life, I've found body fluids horrifically disgusting. Blood, pee, vomit, whatever. I can't deal with it. I put off having kids for years and years (for many reasons) knowing that I would have to deal with all of this stuff if I changed my mind and had them.
Now, I've got a 3 1/2 year old girl with a very upset stomach. I'm by myself today, so I can't pawn the puke puddles off on Mr. A or his grandma like I usually do.
The thing that makes me feel the worst is that I can't even snuggle my little girl right now (something that she desperately needs) because when she starts puking again I have to run away.
So this lesson:
Whoever said "It's different when it's your kid," lied. It's no different, and I would say that it's actually worse. Kids are constantly leaking some fluid or other and you really don't have a choice but to clean it up. Blech.
