I'm currently looking after a gorgeous 6 month old baby whilst his mum is away.
Unfortunately, I came to work this morning to find his grandmother looking knackered and him crying and crying as he hadn't slept all night. I checked him over and suspected he had scarlet fever so we both went to the GP.
We were sat in the waiting room with two other ladies, baby a lot calmer and having a look about from my lap. One of the women was glaring at us the whole time, not sure why as we weren't making any noise.
Anyway, all of a sudden he was very sick, most of it went on me but some splashed the carpet and chair.
The other lady jumped up to get some towels from reception but glarey just continued to frown and began tutting.
I'm now holding a frightened baby, we're both COVERED in vomit and the grandmother is flapping around us trying to clear up with me helping as best I can with one hand.
This woman then says stroppily: "well aren't you going to tell reception so they can clear up your mess??"
She was called in for her appointment before I could reply, fortunately.
AIBU to be astounded that someone could be so rude and unsympathetic?
(Baby does have scarlet fever, as it turns out but he's getting better)
