What's the most disgusting thing you've had to do as a parent?

On Saturday we decided to go for a meal for the first time with our 2 year old son and new baby (2 weeks). While dh went for a quick dash round the supermarket with ds1 I fed baby in the car and changed his nappy - and he peed all over my jeans.
We figured that if we went home and back to the restaurant or went home and cooked a meal that ds1 would have a total meltdown (he tends to if he gets too hungry and he was already starting to get difficult) so for the sake of peace we just went on into the restaurant. I would never have dreamt of doing that before becoming a parent. Luckily the pee wasn't in a place where it looked as if I had wet myself and the restaurant was quite dark.
Please reassure me with your disgusting stories..

Today I had to wipe DD's shit off my sunglasses before I could put them on.

There was a queue behind us for the changing area. There were witnesses. I tried to look nonchalant.

I can be frequently found:

  • Walking around with wee on my jeans where DS sits on me after wetting himself.
  • Picking bogies out of DCs nose
  • Picking poo out of the plug hole after emergency evacuating the bath. DS loves pooing in the bath for some reason.
  • Having to take far too close a look at DDs 'mini' (as she refers to it)
  • Picking little poo pellets off the carpet after DS.

Cleaning sick out of the tongue-and-groove floorboards with cotton wool buds wasn't fun....

Pulling corgette skin out of DD's bum is nothing in comparison to the grossness of DD picking her nose and then shoving her bogies in my mouth before I knew what was happening. Bleeeugh!

christ, makes me looking in the mirror and finding a telltale yellowish smear in my eyebrow, some hours after the last nappy chnage, very tame

Bleee - oh my god, I am pregnant with our first and hadnt even thought of these disgusting moments! Am terrified now, but will proably also call on the dog to assist with cleaning up...

Have chased a fabulously curly poo round the bath with bare hands. Like trying to catch a Curlywurly in a whirlpool.

Have also excavated bogies. And found yellow poo under my nails a looong time after a nappy change.

But seriously, Kreecher, respect. And

I've got say that i'm at work trying to hide the fact i'm surfing the net but i'm finding it very hard not to laugh out loud at some of your responses!!!
Got DD 11 months but not had to tackle anything quite so bad yet.
I have definitely lowered my standards on wearing clothes with baby sick etc on though.

I've done all the usual poo/sick/pee things, wiping DS's 8 YO friend's nose is pretty yucky, but I really can't bear having to scrape sick off the carpet....

DD1 was sick in her bed once, and covered herself head to toe, waist length hair and everything in sight, in the early hours. I stripped the bed, and after showering her and settling her in clean sheets and pj's (with a sick bowl) shoved all sicky items in the washing machine. Came down the next morning, pulled out washing, and was showered with lumps of partially digested carrot, peas and chicken....obviously, should have rinsed them first

When DD2 was four months old, she was having very large, runny BFing poos once a week. We had been out for the day with my parents and the DDs. Just as we had finished our picnic and were about to go home, DD2 got a bit grisly, so DH picked her up.....she pooed- all over him, down his jacket, t-shirt, trousers and shoes, he held her at arms length and the poo streamed down her legs and dripped off her feet into the grass making puddles. It was like hotdog mustard. DH had to hold her there for ages, while the rest of us just rolled around on the grass laughing She was also covered, the poo had come out with such a force, it had forced it's way up her back and into her hair...luckily I had loads of wipes, and spare clothes for DD2, but poor DH had to drive us the four hour journey in damp, poo stained clothes.
