i just sucked the gunk out of ds2's nose - does that make me a furrrreaaaak or a caring mother?

[Tutter]

dh thinks the former

me, the latter

those pipette things just don't cut the mustard (or suck the snot)

Now you're going to tell us he's 15! LOL

I have had three children and I have never had a snot sucker

or sucked snot

I was in a hurry once and was wiping DS's bottom, it needed about 4 lots of paper as was a right mess. Being a caring mother and not having any kandoo paper I was licking the clean loo roll before using so as not to be too scratchy for him. I was in a rush and brain wasn't keeping pace with my arm/mouth synchronised action...ended up licking one piece after using it instead of before

I see your snot and raise it.

eeeeeww

you are probably a very freaky good mother but no way, no way would I have ever done that!!

only 8 weeks old

tissues no good

their noses are all sort of hard and cartilidge-y at this age

bunch of frakes

Eek-that's gross! Saline drops always worked for mine......

pmsl squiffy

Anyway there's plenty more where that came from Tutter!

eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww very caring but also very eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww.

I've done that.

bleurghhh. never done it, never will. I take my hat off to you.

OMG Squiffy

I used to do it wiht mine when they were babies, too. works so much better than a crappy snot sucker gadget!
Dh always had to look away

did it! do it! and when i use my fingers for the runny stuff i wipe it on my jeans rather than his.

I have 3 and have never sucked snot picked yes but sucked yuk

your utterly gross kind and caring

What on earth is a snot sucker anyway and why do you think you need it?

A bit yuk. Couldn't do it myself. Common practice in Aboriginal Culture.

Fabulous

frake

I was once recommended this practice by a shopper in Morrissons.
No you're not a freak, but I wouldn't do it.

Bet you would if it was a life-or-death situation

I am loving the strike out emphasis. I have been lol'ing all night
