Today, I discovered that when one of my toddlers throws up, the other sympathy-pukes too, and that this continues until they're both empty. I guess my car is going to stink of vomit for a while. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, my two year-old puked in the backseat of the car. When we stopped to clean her up, she scooped up the vomit by the handful and threw it at my head. I had an almost two-hour drive before I could wash the smell off myself. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to fart next to my brother in the car. Apparently, his carsickness is exacerbated by strong smells. I now know what it feels like to have lap full of vomit. FML
Today, my 7-month-old spit up on the floor. My 3-year-old puts their hands in it, sniffed, and puked. Then sticks their hands in their own puke, sniffed, and puked again. FML
Today, my 3 year-old woke up with diarrhea. The stench caused him to throw up. My husband started sympathy puking all over the floor. I'm so exhausted already that I'm considering just burning the damn house down to avoid cleaning it all up. FML
Today, while alone in the childcare centre I work at, one of the children farted bad enough to trigger my morning sickness. Because I was alone, I couldn't leave the room, which resulted in me throwing up into a 2-year-old-sized toilet, while 12 toddlers either watched or ran wild. FML
Today, I got my car cleaned. As I drove home, the passenger of the van in front of me vomited out the window. The vomit sailed back and splattered all over the front of my car. A waste of £10 and a mental image that will never go away. FML
Today, it's day four of liquid ass and violent hurling after I hosted a birthday party for my daughter, and one of the kids brought a stomach virus rather than a present. Yesterday my daughter started with the violent vomiting too. Everything smells like vomit in my home. Yay me! FML
Today, I had to go pick up my kid, because he threw up while playing at his friend's house. The boy's mother bitched me out for not keeping my son at home while he was "ill". Her breath was unspeakably foul. So foul that it caused me to throw up too. FML
Today, after changing and dressing my 6-month-old into his super cute brand new outfit, I saw the telltale sign of him about to vomit. Without thinking, I cup my hand under his mouth and catch it all. I had to sit there with a hand full of puke and nowhere to dump it. FML
Today, my mom picked me up from school due to me being sick. Afterwards, she took a detour to the DMV, and I waited in the car. I ended up vomiting everywhere, clothes included, and had to sit in the car for three hours while the taste and smells lingered. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you weren't the third sympathy OP. Just the smell would already stir me badly :s I suggest you prepare sick bags in your car this time if you're expecting more of this... Good luck cleaning up your car .

Give them each a cup. It's what my mother did for my ultra-carsick sibling. I was a sympathy puker too.

This made me want to vomit just envisioning this. Good thing you have s strong stomach! Use an ammonia water mixture in a spray bottle it will clean it and get the smell out.

Imagine these two growing up and doing sympathy things for one another that should not really be done... for one another. If you are now reading this sentence, you are laughing or grossed out. Maybe a little of both if you used your imagination correctly.

At least it wasn't diarrhea....? No, actually both are equally horrible.

"Equally" yeah, trust me if you had to choose between getting vomit or liquid shit on your shoes you'd choose puke every time

I'd rather get liquid shit on my shoes. I have a fear of throw up :3

I'd say it depends on what was thrown up

A mix of Borax and Baking soda will work. My daughter threw up in the back of my car and after cleaning it up I liberally covered the damp spots with the mix. The borax soaks up the moisture and the baking soda works on the smell. Leave until dry and then vacuum up. Have even done this on old still smelly stains, spray with water first. Works on mattresses too.

Motion sickness? Air fresheners to the rescue...

Sorry OP, what my parents found worked well in the car is empty coffee buckets. Hope that might help with messes!
