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....

I had a similar experience earlier this month and got told I was being YABU www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3106472-AIBU-in-thinking-if-your-child-throws-up-in-a-store-you-leave-afterwards
Interesting to see more people leaning towards they shouldn't have got on the train.

They brought a black sack on board, sallyjuliet, they were obviously expecting a repeat performance.

My youngest daughter had the vomiting bug last weekend ... she definitely wouldn’t of gone on a trip like this! In fact, we missed the Panto on Sunday, my husband went with our eldest daughter, I stayed at home with the youngest.

What selfish wankers.

A week before Christmas too.

Some people are unbelievable.

I would have gone at the first sight of it though as I’m an emetophobe of epic proportions and this would have been a nightmare for me.

Horrible, horrible people. I hope you don't catch it OP.

Please not Surrey OP??

Please tell us where.... imma bit freaked out by this and it has unsettled me in quite a big way.

Not sure why the location is important. It could happen anywhere and the particular train isn't "infected" as virus particles can't live outside the body for very long.
It was the child that was the infective agent and I can't imagine they'll be on another train between now and Christmas.

I told the staff both in the station and on the train. They shrugged their shoulders and couldn't have been more disinterested...

The black bin sack was obtained by them before the train departed but after I asked the mother if she thought it was a good idea for them to be on the train.

Selfish bastards. I'll never understand this sort of behaviour. Miserable for everyone involved, child should have been at home, they can't have enjoyed the trip. What about the people who have to clean it all up in the toilets as well. Pure selfishness. Really hope you don't get it OP.

I tend to take a bag with me everywhere to be prepared for my son being sick. I suspect he’s got reflux so maybe this child had that or something similar?

Sorry op, as an emetophobe I tend to panic about these things.

So sorry to hear that this happened to you and your family today.

I am quite flabbergasted really at the selfishness of it. Some people are just utter cunts.

If it was norovirus it can hang around on surfaces for week. If the mum had it on her coat it will have been everywhere .

*weeks, not week.

I totally agree in theory but I've just arrived on holiday one we very much need for marriage for everyone's exhaustion and first thing my DC did was throw up everywhere when we arrived. We thought it was the travel but it's carried on now the poor chap is laid up but if he thinks he wants to out tomorrow I'll let him it's his holiday too it's not cholera or something

Girl you sound such a lovely unselfish person. Yes I'm being sarcastic. How selfish of you for A your child's wellbeing and B others enjoyment of their holiday that they have probably been looking forward to as well. Your child should be in bed where they would be if they were at home.

Girl what a lovely way to act have you actually read about immunodeficiency etc and how selfish your actions would be?

Come on girling, it might be your kid's holiday but don't do that to everyone right before Christmas. Don't be that person. Seriously, taking him out would be a dick move, even if your DS wants to go.

@girlingerrupting WOW. Can you not understand the selfishness of your behaviour? You could ruin Christmas for other people... but hey, as long as you and yours get what they want, that's fine. How do you know that your son's potential desire to go out tomorrow won't bring him into contact with someone going through chemo or otherwise immunocompromised? Can you genuinely not see how appallingly entitled and self-centred your attitude is? You and your family aren't the centre of the universe. You may have failed to notice but we live in a society with OTHER PEOPLE, a society which can only function if we show consideration for others within it. I'm sorry you have been through a tough time and that your marriage is in trouble. I'm doubly sorry for you that the timing of your son getting unwell is so rubbish. But your own hard circumstances are not somehow justification for you potentially inflicting a stomach bug on other people just before Christmas - or indeed ever. Just THINK about others a bit.

Yes I questioned them
"Do you think it's sensible for her to be on the train given that she's unwell?"

This is a child that had vomited up the walls and on the floor of the toilet cubicle 5 mins earlier...

I'm sure they were "rubbed up the wrong way" and I also have no doubt that they were having a rubbish day, but I didn't particularly want to be sat next to a child and its mother that stink of vomit for an hour or so

Eugh that's grim!

Reminds me of the time in soft play, a child was vomiting into a bin. Mum was holding back hair. Then the child just ran back and carried on playing, although did stop for more 'vomiting in the bin' breaks. I was completely

I'm sure OP feels plenty of compassion for the ill child - but compassion for the ill child is not her responsibility and doesn't override her perfectly legitimate desire to enjoy her Santa experience with sitting for an hour next to a child and his mum who smelt badly of sick and who were all too likely to pass on their germs, ruining her Christmas. Seriously. Compassion for the ill child should have been exercised by his PARENTS by taking him home!
