Some reality tv shows tend to highlight the inexperience of many other people who want to have kids. Like Baby Borrowers, where teenagers who think they are ready for kids borrow them from willing couples. If it weren't for the cameras and paramedics this show could be criminal..

Luckily, I was able to salvage the purse--although every now and then, on a hot day, I sometimes get a whiff of sour milk. Yum.

She is the best puker ever! I agree with Mom of 3, get yourself a new fancy purse!!!

Yuck! I can't begin to imagine what it is like in public. Hope you didn't need anything in your purse! It’s bad enough to deal with vomit at home. Yuck!

The kid forgets it, but the parents don't. One of our favorite public puking stories happened at Burger King, when my son (around 3 ish) said he wasn't hungry because his "chin hurt." Then he barfed all over the table. Fast forward many years (to when he was 9) and we're at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, got a good seat right up front. We're singing and ringing the bells and suddenly the priest makes a grimace and grabs his gut like he's just been punched. I look around to see what could have caused the holy guy such a reaction during this important Mass. It was my son. He had projectile vomited. I'm not sure that there would have been more of a reaction if someone pulled out a machine gun and opened fire on the congregation. We were hustled out of there with angry swiftness and assured that they'd "take care of it." Your life does change. Parenthood is a metamorphosis. No fat and happy little caterpillar! Now you're a butterfly that can't hide if it wanted to. Awww, public puking is always hard to get over. The kid forgets it, but the parents don’t.
