She's asleep - and this is disgusting

[ailbhe]

A couple of days ago I wrote that motherhood is when you swallow your own vomit because you're mopping up that of your infant. Now I know it's also when you have diarrhoea but you don't go to the bathroom because you are trying to soothe your also-sick infant to sleep and she's nearly there.

I mean, I'm kind of used to this, because the birth injury was a long time ago now and is non-trivial. But ew. Gross.

Kate was gtting upset as she was not amking it to teh toilet / pottyw hen she had diarrhoea, every time. She was ok when I told her that mummy doesn't always make it when she has a sick bottom too. I just hope she doesn't tell her friends that mummy sometimes poos in her pants!!!

Is there anybody here who's never ever not even once in their whole life pooed their pants?

With young children though, you stick your own toilet needs to the bottom of the queue don't you ...

I'm imagining it's an aftereffect of birth or of not using the muscles much since, but my bladder control is insanely low. Combine that with frequent respiratory problems and coughing, and with a 26 lb kid who prefers getting carried in many situations, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

I'm just hoping you guys are staying HOME to minimize any social trauma; I was lucky enough my last accident was at dusk so no one else could tell even with light-colored pants on.

Maybe I'll just make feminine napkins a daily part of my dressing routine.

I know. Kegels, kegels, kegels.

I am the queen of kegel but too damaged for it to help all the time. I used to wear a sanitary towel every single day. My last public accident was a direct result of being soaked from the waist down by a lorry going through a puddle, so no-one could tell anyway.

Yeah. If it weren't so dark, I was going to run into the lake, alewives stench and all since it happened while we were walking along the shore.

A friend of my father's, injured in Vietnam, was courting the person who is now his wife. They were on a romantic walk together. He farted. "Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry." He was terribly embarrassed. She laughed -- everyone farts. "Yeah, but this one had a lump in it."


I understand. It's never happened to me because I had something more important to deal with, but it's happened.

Yeah, but SHE'S ASLEEP!

She slept almost two hours. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
