      Cleaning up vomit is one thing. Cleaning it up out of a dead sleep at 3 am is something else.

      Also, it’s a process, get the kid out of bed, into the tub, take the pj’s off without smearing puke on their face, change the sheets, put everything in the wash, Lysol the shit out of every surface between the bed and the bathroom. Then they just throw up again 30 mins later.

        Not a parent, but there must be some way of rigging a harness to suspend the child above the tub (oriented to suit the prevailing direction of flow) until all noxious fluids have been released.

            @Matt why bother avoid smearing puke on their face and ruin a perfect opportunity for "accidental" retribution for waking you up? ....You're going to wash it off momentarily anyway.

            This is why I sleep on the bathroom floor when I have the B.E.S.T. , like a respectable human. I expect the children to do the same lol

            B.E.S.T. = Both Ends Same Time. Best enjoyed when the number of sufferers outnumbers the toilets in your home.

                      I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but it bears repeating . Listening to my kids eat is the single worst curse the universe has bestowed upon me. I’d be perfectly fine with going completely deaf.

                              Last week I took a trip to Morocco with my two boys, we did a roadtrip, starting in Marakesh and whent all the way to the Sahara and came back trough the Atlas mountains. Here are some photo's.

                              I was quite nervous to travel solo with em but It's been a wonderfull experience!

                                        @scarfmace Brilliant! This year I am starting solo trips with each of my kids, twins, a boy and a girl. They like very different stuff and they both need their own time apart from each other to explore and grow, so we're going to take turns. My boy wants to do Egypt, so he and I are planning that one, which I am super excited about. My girl wants to do France and has since forever, so that's on deck for the two of us. They are both very intoxicated by the idea, which makes their traveller-father proud!
