I had a couple of advantages. My parents had my little brother just before my 17th b'day, so I got a lot of experience changing diapers and dealing with all that. I didn't become a dad until I was 31, and by that time I'd worked in hospital labs, cut up a cadaver, and seen a world of stuff in hospitals during rotations. I was so used to it all that my kids' stuff didn't phase me much.
My youngest sibling’s nickname is also Boo boo

Puke has always been the tough one for me. I thought I had worked past it until one day...

My wife was pregnant with our second, the weather was crappy, and we were bored. We head to the local mall just to get out of the house. We headed to Sears as my son always liked to play on the riding mowers. He was acting pretty subdued and not really enjoying himself so I picked him up and held him high in the air to try and get a smile. He pukes. Like projectile puking. Straight into my face and I had my mouth open. I start sprinting towards the bathroom and, yep, I start puking too. There is vomit all over that Sears store from the Lawn and Garden Center to the bathroom. I yell at my wife to go get the car and bring around so we can get out of there. Again - she is pregnant and battling morning sickness. She goes and gets the car, pulls it around to the exit closest to the bathroom (near the auto-center). My son and I walk out just covered in vomit - she see, and smell, us and starts puking in the bushes next to the building - I join her cause I still have puke from head to toe. Some old dude was replacing the battery in his pick-up, looks over at us, shakes his head, and goes back to working on his pick-up. I strip my son and I down to our underwear, throw all of our clothes in the trash and we drive home that way.

Holy shit. This needs cross-posted in the IE Dad thread: https://www.irishenvy.com/threads/the-irish-envy-dad-thread.93794/

LOL - As an added extra for you, it was the Towne Mall in Middletown...
Ha! We used to live about 10 minutes from the Towne Mall till we built our new house. Up until about 7 years ago my father-in-law worked at that same Sears Auto Center. :laugh: He was there for decades as a 2nd job. I'll have to ask him if he remembers an entire family puking there lol.

It's funny, when you were telling your story I was actually picturing it going down in that Middletown Towne Mall, and that was before you told me where it happened.

Oh wow that is hilarious. I pity the poor Sears Employee that had to clean that mess. This happened late summer in 1998.

Been strictly remote for about 8 years now, was semi remote for about 3 before that. Can't imagine going back into an office at this point, you'd have to pay me at least another $300/month just for gas, not to mention the extra wear and tear on the vehicle. I don't miss the commute time either.
