Vomming child

[Bigfoot1]

AIBU to think that if your child was projectile vomiting in the train station loo (all over walls etc) you wouldn't then put them on the train.
It's a Santa special
DOI I witnessed the vomiting and we're now stuck sat opposite them. They have a black bin liner....
It's okay, of course I was expecting some kind of illness over xmas, and at least this one will come with some weightloss....

Agree. Talk to staff. Maybe they can move you. In addition, I imagine they won't ve pleased about the potential for negative publicity on social media if a train full of people come down with norovirus after their Santa Special Experience... seriously, I would be livid. Just the height of selfishness.

Too late. Staff knew. The child stank. There was no vomiting on actual train although they were in the toilets on the train for a while..
he said I'd made his partner feel uncomfortable for the trip. For information i questioned them at the beginning having witnessed the vomiting in the toilets (it was everywhere) and then seeing them on the train with the bin liner. I didn't say anything else until we got back. We just h
gave them a very wide berth.
It really spoilt it for us.

You'd made her feel uncomfortable?!
Some people just don't get it.

The only reason they felt uncomfortable is because they were totally unreasonable & knew it! Idiots! I would say I can't believe that anyone would be so selfish but know many who would do the same!

We had this one year in a visit to Santa. A room full of adults & children decorated beautifully. We waited our turn to see Santa.

Little boy opposite coughing, red faced, baggy eyed.

Yep all laid up that xmas with same thing.

Poor little boy he did not enjoy his visit & we were cursing his parents that xmas.

So selfish

Bleugh.
We had noro last Xmas, caught from friends with similar laid back attitude.

I have a real fear of vomiting, and this would have totally ruined the trip for me, I wouldn't have been able to continue.
I had to move on the train home once because a woman starting being sick into a plastic bag opposite me :(

Yuck. My child was puking yesterday afternoon. We were supposed to be visiting father Christmas today but we cancelled. He's fine now but probably still contagious and we wouldn't want to risk passing it on to others.

There is no way i would have got on the train, let alone sit opposite the kid. Infacf i would have said something to the mother before they even got on. Can't stand some selfish parents. A bit of common sense goes along way.

That is my worst nightmare. I would have said something too. It’s so inconsiderate.

We were coming home on the Eurostar last year and three separate children were puking on the platform. All three lots got on our carriage. Nowhere for us to move to as jam packed and all the kids puked all the way home. Three hours of puking everywhere.

Turned out our carriage was nicknamed the plague carriage and judging by the comments at Eurostar everyone in our carriage came down with it (us included).

he said I'd made his partner feel uncomfortable for the trip

Good! Perhaps next time she'll feel uncomfortable enough to do the right thing and take the sick child home away from people who could well catch whatever the child has.

As an emetophobe, things like this make me want to cry (why the fuck I read these threads I don't know )

Selfish cunts [the parents]

Where was this?? We have a Santa train near us and I don't want to go on it now!!

Unfortunately train was rammed. Sold out months ago. No chance of moving seats.
DH and I both said we would have taken our child home in that situation and lost the £30.
They don't seem like the kind of people who took any of it on board.
I hope if we get it we get over it before xmas. We've had a bad run of luck lately and a christmas of vomming would prob tip us both over the edge.

Agree with phobia - want to know where!!

Yanbu! I would feel the same. Some people are so selfish

I would be bundling them up and going straight home. Very unfair of the parents.

Is it anywhere in Derbyshire??

I asked a woman whose child quite obviously was recovering from
Chicken pox why her son was in the pool
She said they couldn't stay cooped up in room. My DS hadn't had chicken pox
And so I had to try to avoid her and her child for rest of holiday. Some people are just pure selfish

Phobia No!

Thanks Bigfoot 😉

Did they say it’s definitelt a bug? My son has a really good gag reflex and if he gets anything’s stuck in his throat/if he laughs too hard or cries too hard/stuffs too much food in his mouth in one go, he vomits really badly! Literally everything has come up! This has happened quite a lot out and about so I bet people have assumed he’s had a bug of some kind.
Fingers crossed non of you catch anything if it was a bug!

I'm an emetophobe and would have had to go home, it's just selfish and horrible for anyone to do that..

Well, if they thought it was an ok thing to do, they were never going to be receptive to you telling them it wasn't. That sort never are...
Why on earth didn't you call the staff and insist they do something about it?
