Should I be upset?

I'm headed to NJ from South Carolina and just hit Deleware. So we're in Maryland and I turn around because my 9 year old niece was complaining about something, and bam, she just throws up all over the back seat area. My 2 year old M35's interior ruined with yellow looking vomit.

I'm not mad that she threw up, but I can't believe she looked me in the eye before she vomited and did nothing. A blank stare and no effort to throw up in her Burger King bag.

Ugh, two more hours and I'm done with these kids.
 
Kids have no concept of damage control.
When they are sick or angry or in pain, they will share their hurt with the entire world and not give it a second thought.

They do this mostly because they dont care about cleaning up the mess or dont know how much effort someone else will have to put into cleaning up the mess.
The only cure for this mindset is experience.

Sadly, a lot of blonde, middle-class females will carry this attitude into their adult years.

/Rant.
 
She's 9. She wasn't thinking about the car. She was thinking about the burning vomit making its way up her throat. Make her parents pay for a cleaning and move on.

Learn to quietly hate kids like the rest of us who have to deal with other people's crotch droppings.
 
When I was a kid, and I up chucked, if I didn't make it to the toilet, I had to clean it up, no matter how sick I was. You learn really quick with a rule like that.
 
When my daughter was about 7, she was feeling ill and my mother in law wanted to give her grape juice. I was against it but she was "wiser" so I let her.
I was sitting with my daughter in the MIL's living room. My daughter threw up on my foot and the carpet. I scooped her up and took her to the bathroom and stood her in front of the toilet and opened the lid/seat.
My daughter is standing in front of an open toilet and turns her head 90 degrees to the left and throws up all over the wall paper. Purple vomit on my foot and the wall.
Kids do the strangest things.

LOL

when you said she turned her head like that I got a picture of the exorcist in my head!! :thumbsup:

Yeah I know you only said 90 degrees but still 😛
 
The burger king bag probably wouldn't of helped, my 3 year old started throwing up and I handed him a bag from a fast food place and the bottom just came right out after a few seconds letting it spill all over my wifes car.

Well I finally made it back home, after spending 24 hours in my car this past weekend driving back and forth. :disgust:

For some reason, your story made me feel just a little bit better.😉

In any case, after the 2+ hour drive with the smell of processed egg, bacon, cheese on a croissant (thx Burger King), I was able to calm down a bit. She managed to throw up on the mat, which covers the entire backseat area including the drive shaft tunnel. So i'm going to see how much a detailing place will charge me to clean the interior.

I just needed a place to vent because I was going to explode on her if I kept it inside. I still am in disbelief that she looked me right in the eyes and puked in my car.

It could have been worse. The force of her puke could have spewed outward towards me, therefore rendering me covered in Puke until I got home.

I'd like to erase this particular memory. 😉

Nah, you get to hold this against her, forever.
She'll love you telling the story when she is older. 😉
 
When a child looks at you like that, they are seeking instructions. Since all you did was look back at her, she did the only thing she could think of to do when it came. Hopefully, you learned a lesson here. When a child looks to the adult, tell the child what to do and the child will do it.

He meant in a situation like this. When a kid knows something is wrong they will look to you for an explanation or a way to fix it.

Did anyone besides me skim over this and think that he just referred to his Mother in Law as a MILF, then went back to see that MIL was shorthand for Mother-In-Law.

Sorry, just had to add that, let normal conversation resume.
