Snot, Spew, Sh**. Which is the worst?

Quite happy to clean poop and 'razz', but for some reason the green number 11 above ds2's top lip really makes me retch....

Spew. Without a doubt. Snot doesn't bother me, poo doesn't bother me, but vomit gets me retching every time.

skinnycow · 26/10/2005 19:14

i hate to see candles on kids too. but equally hate shit and sick too

bubble99 · 26/10/2005 19:18

Infected sputum. Blood stained, putrid and egg-white consistency. Yuk.

buffytheharpsichordcarrier · 26/10/2005 19:18

snot
no question

bubble99 · 26/10/2005 19:21

Hasten to add that I have only come across these in my professional travels. At home? Vomit which contains food (professional vomit is usually just bile)

colditz · 26/10/2005 19:23

Snot & audable phlegm.

colditz · 26/10/2005 19:24

Ew, bubble, faecal vomit

milward · 26/10/2005 19:25

Depends on the location - at home can cope (yuck yuck) but in the car - horrid.

NotQuiteCockney · 26/10/2005 19:26

I thought everyone would say "poo"! I hate dealing with it, hate accidents, hate errors.

I don't like vomit, but can cope.

And I really don't care about snot, which is good, as I'm generally wearing nice little snot epaulettes from one or the other of the boys.

Nemo666 · 26/10/2005 19:28

spew for me too.
snot fine wipe with tissue..ds is actually really good at this now.
poo well what can you do
but vomit urghhhhh the smell is horrible makes me feel like hurling too.

Nemo666 · 26/10/2005 19:29

actually saying that cant stand snot on other peoples kids..especially if people just leave it..why fgs?????

scaryclary · 26/10/2005 19:29

spew every time

spidermama · 26/10/2005 19:32

'Just bile' Bubble? Oh Christ!

Slimy, infected snot with that infection smell. Eurgh! (gag)

I've done had to pluck a distraught toddler from a bath containing runny poo and vomit which had arrived almost similtaneously. I had to dig deep to act in a loving way, I can tell you.

milward · 26/10/2005 19:32

nemo - my 2yr old wont let me wipe her nose most of the time - or she wipes it but misses most of the snot. She has a runny nose for most of the colder weather last year! Lets others wipe her nose for her though!!

winnie · 26/10/2005 19:33

snot!

spidermama · 26/10/2005 19:34

Given the choice to clear them up I'd go for poo first, then snot, then spew.

Snot's pretty bad, but quick and easy and in smaller quantities.

JonesTheSteam · 26/10/2005 19:45

Vomit wins hands down every time for me!!!!

Definitely vomit. Bleugh!!

Heartmum2Jamie · 26/10/2005 19:48

Spew everytime here too shudder

kid · 26/10/2005 19:49

SNOT, especially when they lick it as it reaches their lip

Or I dislike seeing the snail trails up sleeves.

edgetop · 26/10/2005 20:18

i dont mind any of the above, but cant stand them altogether.
or the middle of the night.
i used to work in a old peoples home so i have seen a lot worse.

hornbag · 26/10/2005 20:45

puke.....especially when accompanied with the sound effects....

TinyGang · 26/10/2005 20:51

Oh sick is the worst. Especially if it's over something really difficult to clean like the back of the car.

Funny though I can cope with my own childrens, but others - noooo. Pooey nappies are always worse if it's someone elses's baby. Why is that??

doormat · 26/10/2005 20:52

vomit bleuch
cant clean that up at all
