Emetophobe needing a handheld please

[dunkinhobnobs]

Dd4 went to school Thurs and her little best friends mum happily told me that bestie had been sick all night up to 24 hours before.
Fast forward to tonight and dd can't even keep down water. I am so cross. But more than that I am terrified.
I am sleeping downstairs with a post op dog and dh has DD with him. I can hear them up and down. I just know that it will rip through the family. He is saying he will isolate the two of them but at the very least he is bound to get it and she was with myself and her brothers up until tea time tonight anyway.
I am bordering on a panic attack. Terrified and I just want to curl up and sleep the next week. Then I feel guilty as it's my baby that is suffering tonight.
Argh I hate this phobia!!

I feel your pain and would be raging at the other mother. Handwashing and try to use seperate bathrooms if you can.

Poor dh has been awake with her all night and she is still being sick bless her. He has just said he knows he will get it which makes me feel petrified and guilty all over again. This phobia makes me feel so selfish and yet in other situation that is not me at all.

Don’t feel guilty about it. You clearly can’t control it. Also, there is no point you both getting sick. When I was sick as a child I was only ever cared for by one parent per sickness and I think that was very sensible. I doubt your dc will notice or mind. So long as you pull your weight in other regards then your dh shouldn’t either.

It's quite possible nobody else will get it

Handhold from a fellow emetophobe here. You may not get it - there’s been more than one occasion where one has had something and no one else has.

That other mother though
