Have you ever stood on a weaver fish.. am I a wimp?

[listsandbudgets]

I was talking to my friend earlier who was telling me about her trip to Devon with her DCs over the summer. I said to her she should make sure they all got beach shoes as I stood on a weaver fish down there last year (not far from where she's going). She laughed and told me that I was a wimp and her children wouldn't wear the shoes anyway.

The pain was excruciating and shooting up my legs. I was struggling to walk and felt really light headed. The relief of getting my food in a bucket of hot water was amazing. Now I'm wondering if I'm just pathetic and/or have a low pain threshold.

So if you've stood on a weaver fish what is your memory of the pain?

My ds stood on one on holiday last year AND the year before. He was in agony so we all wear beach shoes now. YANBU

My son once stood on a weaver fish at stud land beach in Dorset. It was really painful at the time. The lifeguards sorted him out with a bucket of hot water and that sorted it out - up to a point....... but he did keep saying over the next few weeks that he was still in pain from it.

I do have to say that we always wear water shoes now.

Eggys if he 'trusts' trainers to the point where you can persuade him to wear them, is it worth buying a pair of cheapo ones and having him wear those? Water shoes can be anything after all.
