When the dogs puke I can clean it up just fine. But when Samantha pukes I run away screaming for JJ to go clean it up. I want to puke when I see another person puke. So I get as far away as possible.

Now I hate body fluid of any kind. Animals or human it dont matter. Grosses me out. Even mine!! BUT I can clean up animal fluid and survive. I never was spit on,puked on,peed on,or pooped on when Samantha was a baby. I consider myself very very lucky. JJ has been though!!! And when Samantha was ever sick as a baby JJ took care of it because he didnt want to clean up after me too.

Kujo just spit up and I didnt have to think twice about cleaning it. Is it because the dogs are mine and I know JJ isnt gonna clean up after them if Im around? And he will clean up after Samantha because she's a part of him?

Anyone else have weird stuff they do???

Hahahaha, I'm laughing because I can not handle almost any human bodily fluids, especially baby stuff. A dog can pee on me. puke, poop, bleed & I'm fine. One baby burp & I'm skeeved out & screaming. ~L~ I swear. I did that when my god son puked on me. I just about had a anxiety attack.

I can't stand human barf either. Baby spit up is OK. I've nannied for 2 reflux babies and one 4 week old baby that had bad diarrhea. When they are babies I don't care about fluids but actual people barf....oh god! Dog barf and poop don't bother me. I guess when my dogs throw up or have a diarrhea accident in the house, it really doesn't smell bad compared to a child barfing! Same with the cats, they throw up and it's just some foam and a leaf or something. When I describe some of the messes I've dealt with, my mom and friend (who has 2 kids) both say I am MORE than prepared for a child!

Guess I aint so weird after all!!

I brought this up because the other day Samantha was sick and puked all over the kitchen. I ran outside with my shirt over my nose. Kujo just spit up and I grabbed the cleaning stuff and took care of it.

I'd be outside right by your side. I guess it's a good thing I don't have human kids, I guess, huh? :o)

Hehe I WANT another baby. JJ wont hear of it. I think that's why he's not complaining about me bringing in another dog or even mention wanting a Irish Setter pup.

Sounds like Alex and I. Lol. I want a kid but he doesn't so he doesn't complain when I say I want a kitten, or I'm getting a puppy next year.

I don't do puke. Period. I don't care what species you are. I can't stand the sight, or the sound or actually even thinking about this is making me queasy.

I can handle poop or pee and for diareaah I'm OK - though I do have to cover my nose up with a perfume scented bandana or something.

I have always been a total wuss when it comes to people-sick... if i dont run away I end up being sick too, which is highly embarrassing. Plus I HATE being sick myself.... I hate the retching and I hate the gross-ness. But somehow, if it's William, I can just about manage.... I think I feel so bad for him that he is not well and I let my instinct to take care of him take over and it overrides my sick-phobia!

People puke or dog puke - neither bothers me. Full disgusting diapers - nope. But, the thought if someone elses phlem and I will lose it. It goes back to a horrible experience which I won't share - but it was totally disgusting and just thinking about it makes me gag.

DH - he's pretty good, but when Riley was a tiny baby he did throw up over a diaper once. He says he should write a book about the baby poop he's dealth with . I keep telling him he should write a bookg because his descriptions are hilarious. Here's one from March (warning definitely disgusting)...
