DS sick in SIL's car

[gazzalw]

DS delivered home and SIL a bit annoyed - seemed to expect that it was DW's job to go and clean out her car [hmmm]

I just see SIL - how do we know it wasn't gazza's brother's wife?

She was BU if she expected your dw to do it purely as she's female, but she wasn't BU to expect one of his parents to clean up.

If it had just happened that is. If it had happened on the way out somewhere earlier in the day then she was def BU to leave it!

I made a woman clean her child's sick in McDonald's once because I was wretching

Actually she offered and I would have hugged her if I wasn't covered in burger grease lol

Parents should offer

My DH (then DP) was sick in my car once. His dad cleaned it! We were both in our 20s! Lol

I offered in burger king once when dd was sick but they said they'd do it. I think they wanted us out ASAP as dd was looking ready for round two.

oh good. You've already backed down. No need for me to add my two pence worth

and yes, it is the parents' job, not the mother's job. Either gender can stick on a pair of marigolds and have at it.

You mean either you or your spouse didn't go out immediately and offer to clean out the car? Unbelievable. Also, the longer vomit is in the car, the more awful it smells. I think you need to get a proper valet for the inside of the car. I really cannot believe you haven't already done so.

No, you are all BU. The poor DC was sick in the car while SIL was in charge of him , she may drive in a way which makes the child carsick, or have given the child too many treats. She is responsible for the child so she cleans up after them. Looking after children means you have to be prapared to do these things.
As a parallel example: your mother looks after your DC overnight. Your DC wets the bed. Do you have to go round and change the sheets and wash them?

Prepared

What everyone apart from lettice said.

I took it that the dc had thrown up on the return journey, as he was delivered home. In that situation I personally would feel it was unreasonable for me not to offer to sort it out - would you seriously just chuck a bucket of water and some marigolds at your sil and tell her to sort it out because your child was in her care when they threw up lettice??

My brother was sick in my dad's car once and the smell NEVER came out. It was cleaned, valeted, cleaned again, valeted by some super-special system, cleaned again... He couldn't ever sell the car, and had to keep driving it until it collapsed. Fifteen years down the line you could still smell the sick as soon as you opened the car door! I hope it wasn't a sick like that, or your bill might be quite a lot higher than the valeting...

It depends if shes let him eat shit to the point of him being sick I would make her clean it up as it would be her fault.

I would offer if my DS had, why is she 'annoyed' though
, no one plans to be sick

Yep, with everyone but Lettice. Get the bucket and Marigolds on and get scrubbing.

Of course if there was no alternative you'd get down and scrub your DNs sick, but if the parent is there, there's no question!

Well ( luckily it seems) I have a child who because of medical stuff vomits A LOT!. I buy sick bowls by the 200 and where he goes , at least a few sick bowls go to.

He is now more than capable of catching his own vomit (always has a bowl next to him)if we are in the car and not safe to stop. I do obviously stop at the first available safe spot to clean him up, give him a hug etc.

And just as a little brag..........when he was little ( he's 7 now) he would vomit anything up to 30-40 times a day. I got puke on twice and only twice. How good am I? :)
