I've been trying to find cheaper doggie bags that fit in the container though! All the ones I've tried have been too long though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496483 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:12:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2496483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.. After reading these I am totally putting extra clothes for everyone and extra wipes in the car!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496216 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 07:31:38 +0000 looch 2496216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy, the epic tantrum thrown while on vacation because the wheels on the remote control car were stuck to the left.</p> <p>It was in full view of about 30 people, all parents with kids, though, so at least there's that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496201 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 07:25:14 +0000 Modern Daisy 2496201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not as bad as yours, but DS threw the biggest tantrum of his life at the grocery store, refused to stay in the cart (he can escape any constraints) threw everything onto the floor and was screaming at the top of his lungs the entire time. I probably should have just given up and gone home but we were completely out of food and it was a Wednesday at like 2pm so I figured it was an acceptable/normal occurrence for our super suburban wegmans. I was shocked to get so many dirty looks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496177 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 07:12:05 +0000 MrsBrewer 2496177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: @Mrs.KMM: I bought 50 rolls of these on Amazon (an off brand) for like $15. We use them for diapers and dog poop!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496145 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 06:52:16 +0000 SweetCaroline 2496145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: @Torchwood: my mom is a genius and found the actual dog poop bags in the dog food section. Same type of container, same baking soda infused bags, 1/3 of the price!</p> <p>I agree, they are amazing lifesavers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496093 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 03:14:00 +0000 lemondrop 2496093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuck on a super turbulent airplane with a crazy 18 month old, seat belt signs on, and he of course has a massive leaking blowout. The flight attendants wouldn't let us up to go to the bathroom, so we changed him in the seat. This old bitch next to us had a tantrum about the smell, got moved to a new seat, then the flight attendant yelled at us about changing him where people eat. Sigh. Couldn't win, but United is NEVER getting another penny out of me again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496062 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 00:07:17 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2496062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry ladies but a lot of these are making me lol... I didn't know I had it so easy so far! Of course as I write this something's gonna happen this week... 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2496015 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:39:19 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2496015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Target carries them! Or I'm sure you could get them on Amazon too.</p> <p> I thought they were silly when I first saw them but they have come in handy so many times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495997 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:17:03 +0000 Torchwood 2495997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: I need those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495984 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:58:07 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2495984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Munchkin makes these little bags (they're basically like dog poop bags) that are really handy for containing dirty clothes (or really awful diapers!) when in public. I keep some in my diaper bag! </p> [attach=1437/16/o4404v.241x473.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495897 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:41:11 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2495897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, DD threw up while I was in line at the post office filing out a customs form. I caught half of it in my hands and just was kneeling there, holding it in complete shock. I finally realized I should ask for paper towels. And some young guy slid a trash can over to me. Everyone was staring. Ugh. I finished the form because I was NOT coming back to mail that package. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495875 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:15:18 +0000 PawPrints 2495875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jackiedavis87: @Torchwood: Me three. Especially for our upcoming trip to Mexico. We've never had a biological incident in public before but this would definitely be the time for it. Our carry-on is going to be a full-on zombie apocalypse survival kit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495788 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 17:32:57 +0000 arosebyany 2495788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3 mo so nothing yet, I just wanted to say like @torchwood, y'all scare me lol. I'm putting a barf bag together also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495769 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 17:08:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2495769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: throw a roll of paper towels in there too. Sometimes wipes aren't enough. </p> <p>This is particularly embarrassing, but my sister's then 1 year old threw up all over himself, her, and the rug in the nursing room at Buy Buy Baby. She just stood there holding him out like, what do I do? I was pretty pleased when I realized I had on a tank top under my sweater that she could wear, and we were in a BABY store so I could just buy him new clothes! Not a bad place for it to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495726 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 16:19:47 +0000 meredithNYC 2495726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: at least you got out of there quickly! I was at Panera the other day and a dad came in with his kid, who looked to be about three. The poor kid projectile vomited while they were waiting in line and the dad threw some napkins over it and proceeded to go ahead and order food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495718 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 16:14:45 +0000 Torchwood 2495718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickles: I think I'm gonna put together an emergency poop/puke bag with clothes for all three of us, a bunch of wipes, and maybe some plastic grocery bags to put the dirty stuff in and/or puke into. These stories are scaring me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495710 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 16:05:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2495710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: exactly I keep two sets in my car because of this fact...also wipes, I have multiple sets of wipes everywhere</p> <p>of course I was switching them out when DS 4, blew chunks all over my car haha.. at least I had wipes to wipe him down </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495664 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:38:31 +0000 Torchwood 2495664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo, the moral of most of these stories is ALWAYS have a change of clothes, no matter how old your kid is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495619 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:13:51 +0000 Pancakes 2495619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were on a mini-vacation when my daughter was about 2.5. She had been potty trained for a couple months but was still extremely resistant to using public toilets. We were in a candy store, of all places, when we noticed that she was standing in a very large puddle. I didn't even have any extra clothes with me to change her. It was completely mortifying. We let an employee know and they were very nice to us and assured us they would clean it up. Needless to say, we got out of there as quickly as possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495607 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:07:40 +0000 skipra 2495607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh these are horrible! Parenting is so glamorous.<br /> DH has trick or treating at his office every year. On the drive to his office LO1 (just turned 2) threw up all over himself in his lion costume - so all in the mane and everything too. We were on the highway like a mile from the exit stuck in traffic. Poor LO, I didn't have a shirt for him to change into to he had to squeeze into his 5 month old brother's onsie. DH took him into the bathroom to get cleaned up so of course we had to meet all his coworkers for the first time with a stinky crying 2 year old wearing a much too small shirt. Then it took us nearly an hour to get home. Poor DS. I felt so bad for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495606 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:07:21 +0000 psw27 2495606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My child likes to throw up on me at really inconvenient times. Such as, on a packed commuter trail in late August, without air conditioning, with grouchy adult commuters giving me the side eye about why I have a toddler on a commuter train. So yeah, they got to smell that for 25 minutes. It was great, just having puke drip down my bra for an extended period of time. Oh and then he bit me out of frustration. I cried when we got home. A lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495571 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:52:05 +0000 avivoca 2495571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Oh my gosh. That sounds awful! I'm so sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495551 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:45:05 +0000 gingerbebe 2495551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. </p> <p>We were JUST at DH's grandmother's funeral this weekend and my MIL instructed me and 18 month old DS to sit in the very front row of the chapel. Right in the middle of the service, as my husband was getting up to give the eulogy, I realize my pants are wet. Which is when I realize DS (who has been on strong antibiotics all week) has had a HUGE blowout. I had even sized him up a diaper in case something like this happened, but it had soaked through his pants and now my pants. Our only saving grace was that we were both wearing black. I quietly moved him over to the side of the tiny one-room chapel where the choir would normally sit to spare other guests any issues of stench (unfortunately, I lost my sense of smell after a surgery a few years ago so I had NO idea if there was a smell!) I put DS' bib on my lap (BECAUSE OF COURSE MY DIAPER BAG WAS IN THE PASTOR'S OFFICE BEHIND THE PODIUM WHERE THEY TOLD ME TO PUT IT BEFORE THE SERVICE) and sat him on top of it until DH was done with the eulogy.</p> <p>I told DH what was going on and at some point during a hymn, we crept out. Luckily, DH knew the layout of the church and figured out a way to get our diaper bag from another room and made our way to the basement where we literally had to strip our son naked, give him a sink bath, and change him on a ping pong table. I did think to pack a spare outfit for DS, but not for myself so I blotted what I could out of my pants and then sprayed myself with the janitor's Lysol spray from head to toe. DH swore he couldn't smell anything on me, but he had a sinus infection, so I don't know if I believe him or not. </p> <p>What. a. day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495502 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:32:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 2495502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: that happened to a friend at a restaurant. She had spare clothes but she texted me from the bathroom to wipe the seat before anyone touched it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495476 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:24:49 +0000 HazelEyes 2495476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, we had a poop-splosion at a restaurant. I smelled something but we were just finished dinner so I waited until we were about to go and when I picked J up it was every. where. He was just past the point where I always had a spare set of clothes in the diaperbag, so I had to get him to the restaurant and he went home in a diaper and a hoodie. My husband had to sheepishly tell the waitstaff what happened, but they were surprisingly ok with it. Which then made us wonder if this happens a lot... which I dont know if its a good or bad thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495337 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:18:36 +0000 avivoca 2495337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When H was an infant, she had a blowout in Half Price books, so I took her to the car to get changed and then feed her. Then, she had another blowout while I was feeding her and it leaked onto my leggings. I had to text my husband to get out of the store and then I had to take my leggings off in the car and ride home without pants. Thank God it was dark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495329 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:15:01 +0000 anonysquire 2495329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I haven't really had anything crazy yet. We were at church Sunday and Zuma wanted to see what was under this girl and her moms skirt. I was so embarrassed but the mom was like "she's fine". I've never seen her do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495315 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:10:05 +0000 Corduroy 2495315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO pee'd in a restaurant high chair when she was potty training. I took her to the bathroom at the end of the meal not realizing she had already pee'd. When we get to the bathroom of course she has to poop which take forever and we occupy the only stall for 15 minutes or so. When I left the bathroom I brought a ton of paper towels to take care of the pee situation. But the high chair is gone and there's already another kid sitting in it. I quickly told DH what happened and that we had to go. He swears the kid that got the high chair next was glaring at him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-mortifying-mom-moment#post-2495063 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 10:07:56 +0000 jedeve 2495063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh mine is killing me. </p> <p>We were Facetiming with my sister the other day. She had a pimple. My three year old suddenly yells out, "boobie head! You have a red thing on your head and it looks like a boobie!" </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: we had a blowout on the airplane once too! I had extra clothes but carried him through the plane naked. </p>
