It's Different When It's Your Kid

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.
