I'm so pissed off!!

How bad is this?

Moved house, DS and DH digging the garden and they find a largish bone which is clearly an old pet.

DS takes it to his room and baby DS just found its and put it in his fucking mouth.

How serious is this?

Do I need to panic or not?

her toddler DS found a dried up dog turd and started eating it like an apple.
JesusInTheCabbageVan Gross,but that did make me laugh!

SoulStarS · 02/02/2020 18:46

DD ate a dead wasp once. I will never ever forget the sound of it crunching

mumwon · 02/02/2020 18:50

woodlice taste nice apparently

pollyhampton · 02/02/2020 18:53

Ds1 ate a beetle when he was 18 months. The crunching sound was awful. The next day he ate ants. Vile.

I found myself wondering why the hell she had chocolate just before dinner. It wasnt chocolate...

Never again did she wear a nappy without a baby grow over the top. Even at 2 or 3 I dressed her in play suits. Nothing that allowed easy access to her nappy was allowed.

Jozen · 02/02/2020 18:59

Mine did this too. Tottering along in an old church yard. Straight off a mole hill and into her mouth. Human finger bone

How did you know it was a human finger bone as opposed to another animal bone?

MillicentMartha · 02/02/2020 19:00

My DS2 had a liking for snails. Very French, but I don’t think they eat them alive, shells and all.

Cattenberg · 02/02/2020 19:04

DD has managed to eat a few degu poos (they get kicked out of the cage). The degus also eat some of their own poos, so clearly they are delicious and I am missing out.

at the human finger bone.

SunshineCake · 02/02/2020 19:06

Eating a slug is pretty serious. Have you not read the terrible story of the young man who ate it for a dare, contracted a virus and died ?

UnalliterativeGeorge · 02/02/2020 19:09

DS tried a snail, bit into the shell then decided he didn't like it and so gave it to me. I thought he was passing me a rock like he had been all morning so took it, realised it was half chewed snail and nearly flung it in his face. Not my favourite morning!

VinoEsmeralda · 02/02/2020 19:12

Ds stuck his hand in his napoy, looked at it, ate it then wiped the rest of the handful in the tine holes of the speakers......

bambiqueen · 02/02/2020 19:14

Laughing hysterically reading some of these replies!

bornonasunday · 02/02/2020 19:15

My “little angel” stuck his finger straight up next doors dogs bum when he was about 2!! He thought he was really clever🤮 I was mortified - the dog didn’t see bothered at all!!

CigarsofthePharoahs · 02/02/2020 19:16

Walking home from school my two children decide to play a game where everything is food. Trees are carrots or broccoli, lamp posts are sausages, etc etc.
Then I realise one of my children has taken it a bit far. I found myself on a busy street shouting "Do NOT lick the lamp post!" I was too late.
He was seven at the time. Seven.

SureTry · 02/02/2020 19:19

DS2 who is 2 years old, ate a piece of mud that had come off DD's wellie boots. She had forest school and DS2 mistook it for a piece of chocolate. 🤢

undercoveraessedai · 02/02/2020 19:25

Absolutely crying laughing at some of these - reinforcing my decision to not let friends' dc visit my home until they are at least 10 😳😂🤢

WatcherintheRye · 02/02/2020 19:29

I used to pick lumps of moss off walls and eat it.

We were on holiday once when ds2, about 14m, was still being carried in a backpack by dh. We were going round some gardens and I was chatting to ds1, turned round to speak to dh only to find ds2 casually plucking leaves from trees, giraffe-like, as he passed by, and stuffing them in his mouth. I emptied his mouth and both hands of leaves and had a minor panic about poisonous trees, but he was fine!

Hadtoask · 02/02/2020 19:58

@DinosApple I read it as your mum did this. I’m not sure why but it really changed the story for me.

DinosApple · 02/02/2020 20:05

@Jozen I studied human remains as part of my archaeology course.

DD1 also chomped down on a human calcaneus (ankle bone) from a mole hill on a dig we we're on when she was tiny. They look pretty rock like when covered in mud. It was only when I grabbed it from her I realised what it was.

DD1 was the chewy child, after her DD2 was easy!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 02/02/2020 20:06

@DinosApple has the mic drop of the day

DinosApple · 02/02/2020 20:09

@Hadtoask yes that would change it somewhat.

DinosApple · 02/02/2020 20:12

@JesusInTheCabbageVan .

Personally I think the dog turds are worse. Dry old human bone covered in mud versus dried dog turd. It's like some horrific game of would you rather

legalseagull · 02/02/2020 20:13

My daughter put a dog shit in her mouth before I could stop her. She then threw an almighty tantrum when I batted it out of her hand. So disgusting. Who lets a dog shit in the playground! She survived. Didn't actually occur to me that it might harm her. I may be too relaxed.

DressingGown · 02/02/2020 20:13

My parents had a cat when I was a baby. My mum found me sucking half a dead mouse. Tail hanging out my mouth apparently. I’ve lived many decades since...

cormorantyes · 02/02/2020 20:18

On more than one occasion I have had to say "DS do NOT lick the wheelie bin" - including on the way to school.
He's never has a vomiting bug . . . (touch wood)
