I'm guessing the reason your mother wasn't as sympathetic to you when you had sv is because really, to 'normal' people, it isn't a big deal. Kids v. And they do it alot. They do it and then they are better. Running around, freaking out is what emets do. Non-emets figure, "No big deal. My kid has a little tummy upset." It isn't a big deal to non-emets.

My grandma used to encourage me to go v. She figured I'd feel better afterwards, which usually most people do. I think most parents just take care of their ill children same way with any other illness. It's really no big deal.
