Rookie Mistakes is a series where guest bloggers divulge their parenting fails, and make us laugh or inspire us in the process. After all, we can’t all be pintrest perfect parents.
This weeks guest post comes from one of my personal favorites, Laura who blogs at Life With Baby Kicks. Parenting is hard work on the best of days. But when the small people are sick, life gets really tough. That’s when you really need things to go your way, not for rookie mistakes to occur!

Leave me a comment. I like them almost as much as chocolate…
We always bear in mind to bring wipes, towel, antiemetic, clothes, food and some bottles of water with us when driving on a long road as precautions. Baby sick in a car seat needs a lot of stuff.
Oh no! Our Baby (now really a toddler) did this in the car on the way to see some of OH’s family just before Christmas. She has never been sick in the car before. We did have a change of clothes for her, but were nowhere near home, going out for whole day, & the car seat was covered. Also she had been in a pretty new dress for pictures & it was a worrying shade of orange that I was convinced would be permanent stain by the time I got to wash it (it wasn’t). Had to stop at services and buy copious amounts of lemon antibac wipes and febreze to try to deal with car! & we were late. #fridayfrolics
Sick in the car seat is the worst! It just… lingers. x #fridayfrolics
Nooooooo I can’t bare it for you. In fact I’m empathising so much I’m now stressed and laughing as the same time. Too.many.emotions at.once. loved this totally brillisnt x
Oh noooooooooooo!!! I constantly run out of wipes, clothes, and important stuff! And I still leave the house without the changing bag, more often than I leave with it! But car sick is the worst… We still have remnants of car sick on the seat from 2 years ago, it just won’t come out! I hope that day your husband did bedtime by himself, made you dinner, and that you consumed enough wine to sedate a rhino!!

Oh no, I can feel your pain Laura! Sounds like you dealt with it brilliantly though 🙂 #fridayfrolics
Baby sick in a car seat takes AN AGE to clean! I feel your pain! May we all always have wipes, cake and copious amounts of coffee. x
And oh my the smell. It lingers!!!
I’m fairly sure I’ll never run out of, or forget to bring, wipes ever again after reading this story. Thanks so much for sharing your Rookie Mistake so that we can all learn from it, and hopefully avoid such disasters ourselves, haha! It sounds like quite an adventure, the type of thing you can only laugh about later 🙂
You think I would never ever run out again….nope. I panic as I get down to the last one wipe and know it’s going to happen again!
Motherhood…meh. Right do you have muslins, wipes, coffee, cake…just checking.
No coffee and no cake??? How is a person supposed to function under those conditions?? I have experienced the whole vomit and car seat scenario and cannot for one minute see how a person would be able to manage it without wipes? (And possibly vodka?) Medal for that Mum! I would still be parked at the side of the road sobbing…
Brilliant – thank you for sharing x
