Soooo Embarassed.....TMI

[mommy111]

It started out with good intentions, I decided that I would finally get off my butt and get DD enrolled in some sporting activities similar to what she would have been in were we still home in the US, some team sport, mostly for the advantages that team sports have.So the only reasonable thing that would take on a kid DD's age was football, so I enolled DD in the junior football team (5-8yrs....DD is 5). Wonderful. This year while we are in China, DD will learn football.
We show up for our first practice today and DD is the smallest and ONLY girl in a group consisting only of boys. It was really cool, all the boys' parents were cracking up and the coach made a big deal out of her.
So this evening, I take the kids out to a nice but family friendly restaurant to celebrate DD's first soccer practice game. The food just arrives and I smell something. It is DS. Apparently he has a stomach bug. And he has pooped though his diaper all over the high chair and it is dripping all over the floor. I have never been so embarassed in my life. We cleaned things up and beat a hasty retreat. I bet that restaurant won't ever let us in again.
Please share your stories here and help me feel better!

A few months ago..feeding/burping DS2 at Rainforest Cafe turned sour for us when he had a blowout that required a complete change, plus bagging up the Ergo for the rest of our trip.

We got on the bus to go to the Grand Floridian (watching fireworks) and the guy next to me said, "Hey, I bet the bus driver has some paper towels or something." I looked at him like, "Yeah, whatever?" We'd cleaned everything up. Apparently, there was a 12" drip of yellowish/brownish poo down the side of my white kneelength shorts. Oops.

I feel your pain.

I got one for you!!!!

When we were still taking DD into stores in her carseat (probably sometime her first summer, so 4-6months)...............we went to lowes to look at some plumbing fixtures.....while DH is talking with an employee I push DD down the aisle to look at something else and this lady starts to ask me her opinion about some bath fixtures......as she's talking to me I start to smell something....I look down at DD and I see poop on both sides of her in the carseat!!! Well I look down to the floor and it has dripped out of the carseat and made a puddle on the floor!!!!
I hastily call to DH, excuse myself from the lady (who is still talking and never noticed this!)....he runs to find towels to clean the floor and we rush outside.........her carseat is covered in poop.....we are changing her on the hood of the car, of course I have no extra clothes and we run out of wipes.......so poor DD has to sit in a stinky carseat with only a diaper on while we rush home................

needles to say, I now have extra wipes, clothes and diapers in my car at all times now!!

Parents were watching our kids at WDW so we could eat at nice
place solo. Emily threw up all over the table at the Shutters
restaurant!

In the early days of "Life with Lala", I learned tummy bugs mean 2 days at home, not just until it seems the bug has passed.

She was dressed adorably--little sailor dress, matching canvas mary janes. We were with my mom and her hubby (her hubby was not overly fond of toddlers, and Lala was about 2 years). We were shopping for something at Home Depot. All the sudden, La starts fussing, mom's hubby gets that "This is embarrassing" look on his face. We hear "the sound", and mom and I go right to Lala.

We were at the furthest corner of the store, with the bathrooms in the furthest opposite corner. No "spill kit" near by, and the diaper bag in the car (I mean, who needs a diaper bag in a home improvement store with a 2 year old?). The poop was from La's armpits to her feet (bye-bye brand new shoes, as the poop soaked the inside). I carried her far away from me, running to the bathroom. My mom, who was blind, was trying to keep up.

We managed to bathe her in the bathroom sink, but there was a trail of poop throughout the store. Luckily, it was a woman employee who found us, laughed good-naturedly, and got to cleaning the messes on the floor while I cleaned the messes on the kid.

Oh, yeah, did I mention that, at that point, I wasn't yet La's mom, just an auntie-type? It was my first experience with her diarrhea poops!

I still won't go back into that store, and La will be 6 in a week!

Aw, I don't think it's embarrassing when a baby poops everywhere. It's wicked gross but nothing to be embarrassed about.

DS was sitting on my lap in the back of the church during our annual meeting. All the sudden he had one of those LOUD poops that only young babys can have. Everyone turns to me and the person next to me says in a shocked voice "Shannon!" As I leave to go get him cleaned up I realize that not only was it loud it was a complete blowout and it was all over him and me. It was gross but funny.

I took M to a Drs appointment. While I am siting in the chair holding M, he was 6 months, he decides to throw up everywhere. It seriously looked like the exercist. I have known this older Dr. for awhile and he has 3 grown older children. He didn't bat an eye. The 23y/o intern/student Dr. that was with him turned pale and look petrified. My Dr. calmly told the intern to go get some paper towels. It didn't bother me becasue I know there wasn't anything I could do. I do make sure I remember it and will remind M periodically when he gets older. I think I scared that student from ever having children.

Well, let's see. I was at a baby shower for a friend, but not a really close friend and DD threw up, violently, all over the floor. She was about 18 months old and I was MORTIFIED. It was smelly and voluminous. I tried to clean it up discreetly but then the guy with the bucket and mop shows up and starts making everybody get out of their seats. Ugh. I had to strip DD out of her clothes and take her home naked in her car seat.
