    Would you rather v* or have your child(ren) v*?

    No judgement!! Just the honest truth.

    This is a tough one! I'm petrified of doing it myself. I don't have any children yet, but I work as preschool teacher (3 and 4-year-olds) and all of my friends have kids. I think it's the lack of predictability with the kid throwing up. If it's me, I know when it's coming...so I can get to a bathroom. They don't. It just...happens. If it WERE my child, though...I think I'd still rather be the one getting sick. Not just because of the predictability thing...but bc I would probably feel worse for them than they felt. It really scares kids and I wouldn't want my kid to go thru that if they didn't have to... Very confusing decision, though! Good poll!

    It IS a tough one! I was thinking about it earlier because part of me would want to have it myself because I would have more control over it and I also wouldn't want my baby to be sick. On the other hand, he had a sv* once and didn't seem to be phased by it at all. He wasn't scared, it was like it was no big deal. So, I know that it is selfish, but sometimes I think I would rather have him v* than have myself v*.

    I HATE this phobia.

    I would hate to have to deal with a vting child, I would most likely get someone else to deal with it.

    I said self, because for one, I'm pretty sure if my kids were sick, I'd end up with it too, so better to just start with me where I know I can control where i v* as to avoid exposing my kiddos.

    The way I look at it, I sit anxiously waiting and waiting and waiting to see if my kid will v* again, with myself, I know if I'm feeling better and will be done. The anxiety of not knowing if someone is going to get s* or not is worse for me.
