AIBU for leaving a cafe after my baby was sick?

[Angrycafe]

I was out with DD (2m) and DH earlier at a cafe. DH had to leave 5 minutes before I did with DD because he was running late to meet his friend to watch football.

As I was getting my belongings together, DD was sick everywhere, including on the floor. I was really flustered and quickly left, making sure the immediate area (the table) was clear but admittedly didn’t clean the floor.

A woman (staff) hurried out of the cafe after me and started ranting about a lack of respect and that I wouldn’t be welcome back. I just burst out into tears.

I wish in hindsight I had cleaned it, by I was flustered and in a mess. Am I terrible for doing this?

Just saw your post about your husbands comment about the staff member.

Wind up thread.

Have to say OP I have sympathy. If I had been a member of staff I wouldn't have berated you like that. When I worked in a town centre pub you should have seen the toilets as the night went on sometimes it could be like a scene from The Exorcist and very few people apologised. Sometimes - mainly women - horrible things were done on purpose. Two month old baby sick it's nothing to get on your high horse about I bet they wouldn't have if DH was still with you when you left.

Thanks, I am lovely.
What about the staff who had to deal with it? You have no idea what stresses they have going on in their lives. Being a new mum doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t behave with basic consideration for others. The suggestion to go and apologise seems sensible and no one is saying she needs to continue to feel bad about it.

Really? It doesn't sound very funny.

No.

It's an unpleasant, nasty comment about someone's physical appearance.

Rude and completely unnecessary. It seems neither of you have basic manners or consideration of others.

I was feeling some sympathy for you until I saw those comments.

Your response to your husbands “joke” says a lot about you, and him.

Oh well, at least no sharks were jumped.

Fair play.

I don't understand the joke, can you explain it? Why is it funny?

You sound really nasty OP. And the fact you posted that “joke” on here shows exactly the kind of person you are. Hope you get banned from every local cafe.

'Judging by the size of her'.

That's not a joke, that's unbelievably rude.

So rudeness is the theme of this thread...

That's not a joke.

It's nasty.

I agree. Very unpleasant.

You're not covering yourself in glory here OP...

Honestly, I can't believe how dramatic many posters are being about a bit of baby sick.

I worked in cafes and restaurants when I was younger. I cleaned up plenty of stuff left behind by customers. It would never have crossed my mind to be annoyed by a clearly overwhelmed mum leaving baby sick and I definitely wouldn't have felt disrespected...

OP, if it makes you feel better my eldest was once sick all over a lady taking our order in a cafe. It was the first true projectile vomit I'd ever seen and it even went in her hair. I felt terrible but luckily she was lovely about it.

God you sound awful as does your husband , neither of you have any manners , your poor child 🤦🏻‍♀️
can only hope this is a goady thread by a very bored person .

You mean adults have diseases babies are not immune to?

After seeing this comment it's clear you are both horrible people.

Not only did you leave someone else to clean up your child's sick, you then mocked and laughed about the staff member's size. Shame on you.

Quite.

Its not about cleaning it up its about her not informing anyone which is not only disgusting but dangerous. If you spilt a drink would you tell the staff or just walk out and leave it

A joke? What was funny about it?

Yes of course you should have cleaned it up but she shouldn't have been so aggressive with you, it was unnecessary. I'm sorry you were upset.

Not funny, spiteful and nasty

Yeah you lost me at
He said that judging by the size of her he’s surprised she managed to catch up with me! That gave me some much needed light relief amongst the tears

He's a very nasty piece of work and you thinking it a joke and finding it funny is not much better.

People aren't being dramatic. They're sympathetic, but giving sensible advice.

I doubt she would have felt very comfortable cleaning up the vomit you left behind. Sometimes, you have to just put your big girl pants on and do the right thing.

Okay, so you’re a gross couple on several levels. Gotcha.
