Before I had kids I was a big germaphobe….now that I have 7 kids, I am a bigger germaphobe that has found myself doing gross things. There are a lot of things that make the non-parent members of our society cringe when it comes to parenthood. These are the things they don’t disclose to you when you attend the raising kids for dummies orientation (sense the sarcasm?). I figured I would share some of these with you to give you a little laugh and something that you can possibly relate to if you are raising a tiny genetic copy of yourself.
Every parent has lifted their baby or tot up and sniffed their butt to see if they really pooped or just farted. Dogs do it to say hello, moms do it to see if their kid took a shxt.
I have been puked on my fair share of times. The worst time was when Kennedy puked on me in front of a room full of people at a birthday party. I was pregnant with Cody and I was mortified. I cried on the way home as I drove soaked in cocoa puffs and bananas. Every mom/parent has caught puke in their hands (or will at some point) to prevent it from going on the table, floor, bed etc. It is a reflex. IDK why sticking your hands out to catch vomit seems like a great idea for damage control.
Bathtime is always a great time to go poop for kids. Fishing turds out the bathtub helps sharpen up your hand eye coordination.
First baby, you freak out when your kid tries to eat off the floor. Once you hit 3 and beyond the 5 second rule applies.

Sniffing asses

Catching puke

Fishing out turds

5 second rule: It builds immunities

Using my mouth to suck out snot and boogers

Regular nasal aspirators are gross enough on their own. So why in the world would I buy something to suck snot out of my kid’s noses using my mouth? Because it works 100 times better and boogers are apart of my life now.
What gross things have you done as a mom/parent? Leave me some comments below!
