to ask who's kid ate worse?

[Mynameisnotsweetheartordarling]

Ds6 ate a handful of mealworm that was beside our hamster cage today. literally got a handful then put them in his mouth 😐

Well…least he got his protein

My DF used to 'liven up' maggots for fishing by putting them in his mouth 🤢 he's in his seventies and doesn't fish much anymore but this continued until the last five years.

Did he enjoy them?

We assume they're awful but they might taste really nice and we're all missing out.

My dd found a suspicious item on her kitchen floor and she licked it.
It was a dried slug...
Dd was 30..
She can't explain wtf she did it!!

Mine at coal a few times. Real and synthetic stuff.

They are such strange creatures, children.

Once found my toddler chewing a fag butt

DD ate a snail as a toddler. Just picked it up off a wall and then bit into it.

I was horrified.

😱😱😂😂

My dd used to lick the train windows.
Revolting!

My nephew shat on the floor (1 Yr old) and as sil ran over to him he picked it up and shoved it in his mouth ...

My nephew shat on the floor as a toddler and my baby DD picked it up and put it in her mouth 😱

Why are kids so disgusting?! Mine wees in the bath. Then takes the flannel that is floating in wee water and sucks and drinks the water from the flannel 😑

It’s unusual for a 6 year old to be doing this. Toddler maybe…

I apparently announced to DM when about 3 that 'Hutty don't like cat food'

So there's that...

Oh god….I did that!

Mine drank denture fluid the teeth had just been removed
disgusting lad he wasn’t tiny either old enough to know better

My DS 14 months will pick hairs up off the floor (dog hairs or human hairs no preference) and puts them right in his mouth 🤮

I ate a slug when I was little.
DD1 managed to find a fag butt.
DS ate a live cricket.....twice.
DD2 ate fox poo when she was in the park because she thought it was chocolate.

We all lived to tell the rather disgusting tales!!

DD ate dried white dog poo.

In fairness, I can see why he thought he’d give dried mealworms a try. They do kind of look like they’d be quite crispy and savoury, like dry-roasted peanuts or Bombay mix.

I have told this story on MN before. When ds1 was going through the terrible twos, I had a dreadful morning, where he was 45 minutes into a tantrum, and it wasn’t even 8.30am - and that was on top of an hour-and-a-half long screaming tantrum the night before. I was pregnant with ds2 and was on the last shred of my last nerve, so I rang dh in tears, because I just couldn’t cope any more.

A few minutes into the call, ds1 stopped screaming, so I rang off and went to investigate, and found him at the kitchen bib, eating leftover tortilla chips that dh or I had thrown away the night before - but that isn’t the worst bit. I knew that, if I took him away from his delicious bin-snack, he would start screaming again, so I just let him carry on eating! When he got bored and wandered off, I emptied the bin, and found it a new home where he couldn’t get at it, so he couldn’t be tempted to repeat the feat.

He survived entirely unharmed - not even a tummy upset - and is now a strapping adult, married, with a child on the way. I don’t let him forget his bin snack, though - I told his best man the story, and he used it in his speech at the wedding.

Makes my DD trying to trickle the swimming pool water off her sinker into her mouth sound perfectly reasonable!
When she was a toddler she ate her own poo.

Me? I used to pick fab butts up off the floor and pretend smoke them and also chewing gum. Both were forbidden to me as a child (obviously re the cigarettes) and so me and my friend Hayley used to push our prams and dolls down the road and happily collect fag butts and discarded chewing gum and play "being a mummy". I was rarely poorly as a child!

I remember you writing this before really funny. Id have left him to his bin snack as well

My now 30 year old DD would regularly eat wood lice, especially if they rolled into little balls first.
