Eh... I didn't have a HUGE problem with it before but I certainly don't like it better now. Spit up is one thing.. that does not bother me at all. But legit vomit? So gross. It actually grosses me out more than poop. But maybe because I'm used to cleaning poop diapers multiple times/day and vomit is more rare (and also more ON ME sigh)....

Yeah, definitely got used to it. My 2.5 year old had a stomach bug last weekend, and I was thrown up on, caught vomit, and carried him inside while he was covered. He's still so young, and just doesn't understand what's going on and wants Mommy.

I'm really lucky, though, because of DH is there he'll usually volunteer to clean it up

Cat vomit still totally grosses me out, though!

@Shizaz: My MIL has never been able to tolerate vomit, even after 3 kids. Her and FIL had a deal that she would deal with poop and potty-training accidents (within reason, FIL was a really hands-on dad!) and he dealt with the vomit.

I have always hated vomit (I refused to drink alcohol for a long time for fear of throwing up) and I still hate it. It hasn't gotten easier or better for me. In fact, my husband probably thinks I overreact to vomit. He always tells me he will do the vomit, but they always seem to throw up when he isn't around.

You are more concerned for your child's health/reaction than to the vomit. Vomit never really bothered me, and that's good since she had severe reflux and would projectile everywhere, I was usually wearing it every day. Poop...it is true what they say that your own kid is dfrerent, I still gag when changing my niece/nephews diapers but not my own

(all bets were off when I was in my first trimester of second pregnancy, couldn't' do poop it would make me vomit, it was my only aversion!)

My daughter had a horrible vomiting episode last week. We were sitting together on the couch when all of a sudden she goes, "mommy?" And vomits all over me. I instinctively put out my hand and caught (almost) all her vomit in my hands.

I would have probBly vomited if someone brought up a scenario like that a few years ago, but now - it doesn't phase me other ppl's vomit/bodily fluids gross me out to no end (I have a hard time using public restrooms), but my own child's don't bother me in the least bit.

I have a phobia with vomit and unfortunately it's gotten much much worse since my son was born. He's 2.5 and has had 3 stomach bugs plus he also tends to throw up when he coughs a lot when he has colds since his gag reflex is sensitive. I constantly worry about the next time he's going to get sick

Still gross but you have other priorities. Like the fact that your child is covered in it! So gross.

You are forced to get used to it. The choices are clean it up or leave it there, so you do what has to be done. I have been known to throw linens in the trash if it is a really bad episode.

The weird thing for me is that I went a decade without ever puking myself, including when I was pregnant and gave birth. But then I threw up after that a few times. It is so, so horrible.

I get a lot of anxiety about it. DH is amazing and will step in and deal with it if he's home. But I've definitely had to deal with it. I can't say it has gotten easier for me.

So, I was reading this thread about an hour ago and thinking, ""Wow, E hasn't vomited in a while."

Sure enough, E's first morning action: puking all over herself, me, her changing table, the floor...
