    Parenting: Dirtiest Jobs anyone?

    February 6th, 2012

    I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the Discovery Channel show Dirtiest Jobs, but after the week I’ve had, I’m ready to submit one: parenting. Of a stomach flu ridden child.

    This post, as you can imagine, is not for the faint-hearted. If you are a train wreck lookie-loo you probably won’t stay away, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    You know what sucks? Being puked on. I mean physically, all over, you are the target of it all, puked on. You know what also sucks? Having to clean up a diaper blow out that is SO bad that it ends up in between the kid’s toes. Yes, you are correct, toes are generally not in the same vicinity as the butt, but when shit travels south there’s only so far it can go. I’m pretty sure I just used up half a container of Costco wipes just getting to a surface I can handle enough to escort to a bath-tub.

    So Mike Rowe, are you ready to take on a pukey-then-diarrhea stricken baby?

    Parenting for sure has its FAR from glamorous notes.

    And with this post I’ve pretty much re-assured my sister in her choice to never have kids… End scene
