Pretty savage right now

My partner has just basically accused me of giving our 5 year old something bad to eat as he has thrown up in bed. I am so angry. He hasn't just suggested it, but asked exactly what he's had, and then said well something's not right is it. Seriously? Like kids don't have stomach ache or bugs ever? I need to get this out of myself before I go mad at my partner.. He often picks fault and I am so upset he thinks I would be careless or thoughtless with our son.

Presumably he hasn't been mixing much with others, so he's less likely to have picked up a bug from another child than in normal times.

You'll probably never know the cause but it's possible that it was something that he ate.
That doesn't mean you've been careless or thoughtless, but it could be that you've given your child something new and he can't tolerate it. If so, it's as well to know so that you can avoid it in future.

We'll something isn't right though it isn't very fair if he's implying you're responsible for your child puking (unless you're like the DMIL who feeds 4 day old meat - not kept in a fridge- to her GC).

My 2 DS's (2 + 3yo) regularly put mud, leaves, dirty fingers, splash river water etc in their mouths. I do obviously try to prevent this, discuss germs/hand washing etc but I'm not prepared to limit their outdoor activities to remove all risks.

I count myself lucky they don't puke more. If DH complained I'd suggest he took over the childcare.
