Hi i know ive posted already tonight but ive just seen a post on one of the forums & it got me wondering how other parents with emetophobia cope if there child gets S***? Is it just natural too comfort yr child despite yr own fears? Or do you have too call on someone else too help? I have 3 children and i suffer really bad with my emetophobia i went through 3 pregnancies and labours without a single retch but that was mostly down to will power!!
My 2 sons have had one bug but at the time i was going in for an operation so my partner dealt with it and i stayed at my mums if i caught i wouldnt have been able too have the operation so a bug was out of the question. To be honest though i really dont think i could deal with it if one of my children got s*** it makes me feel like the worst mum in the world even say it as a parent all i want too do is be there for my kids through everything but if my partner was working away i do think id be calling on my mum for help! My children dont know much about my fear because i dont want them too pick up on it and end up like me! But my oldest knows i dont like s*** and uses it at times too get his own way like not eating his dinner!! So how does everyone else deal with poorly children and do you hide yr phobia??
