Sick child

[Sherlock35]

I suspect IABU but surely an almost 10 year old child can throw up into a bowl that's right next to them and not all over the sodding rug and floor and trail it all over the room and the stairs?

Towels a good idea, stops bedding getting wet through too.

Depends on the force of it.

I sympathise too. DS did best impression of a volcano this morning and yesterday someone at school did one on the story time carpet.

99p orange B&Q bucket with a towel underneath

Been there, done that so you have my very best wishes OP.
Hope it's all over soon (no pun intended)

My DD is currently sick with a throat infection and she has been vomiting. She often says 'sorry' afterwards!! Poor little thing. I always tell there's nothing to be sorry for. Tonight she threw up on Daddy and kept mentioning 'Your jumper. Your jumper's dirty!'

Oh, when they apologise for spewing, breaks your heart. Mine has been known to try and apologise mid spew!

We always lay a big towel over the pillow if there potential for night time vomiting. It can save pillows getting ruined.

My late mother kept a large blue bowl for me to be sick in. I know she cleaned it well but it had its own distinct "smell" which probably assisted the vomit. It's one of the only historical smells I can invoke

You're all lovely, thank you for your kind words. We have been vomit free since 11pm last night so, fingers crossed...

My 9 year old on the way back from the airport said he was feeling unwell, i said if you need to be ill, put down the window and be sick or tell me and i will stop, failing that be sick in your Baseball Cap.

Well 10 minutes later he pukes all over the back of the my car seat.

Then i dropped my bloody iphone in the bucket of sick water when i was cleaning it up. 600 quid gone !

At least you can wash a rug and your floors
But my hairdryer did not recover from being spewed on
