Parenting tip 1342: Baby Vicks Vapo Rub
When your child comes out of the bathroom with hands and feet caked in Vapo Rub, take a towel and wipe off the excess BEFORE you run soap and water on her to get it off. While it is cool to watch the water bead on your skin like you just got a shiny wax job, it doesn't do much to get the goo off. After the excess is gone, Dawn dish soap removes the rest. You will still smell like Vapo rub to the extent that people will be afraid to light a match near you, yet have amazingly clear sinuses, but most of it will be gone.
Your Welcome
My question, right after the dog squatted and peed in the floor, the door bell rang and so did my phone, may I PLEASE have a drink now? I know it's before five...but come on.
Since Vapo rub is mostly vaseline, it should work on that too.
Melanie, same principal applies. When my daughter did that (yes, same kid) I got most of it off with baby wipes, then Dawn dish soap. Yeah, I know, I really need a drinking buddy.
LOL J.! Any tips for removing diaper rash cream from the entire body of a 4 year old? He does indeed look like a ghost now... his mission has been accomplished.
too bad you are not closer by or we could have that drink together ;0)
Does the tip even work on TWINS with Vaseline in their hair.
Where is my Bottle?. No I do not mean milk bottle, the wine bottle.
Thanks, I needed the laugh ;-}
>.<
Hope the rest of your day improves!
At least its wasnt regular vicks, that stuff really stings if you rub in on the wrong area. I remember the big thing in high school was using anything with menthol in it supposedly enhanced sexual feelings in your private areas. So one of my girlfriends rubbed vicks all over her boyfriends private areas, lol, he could have used tip 1342 that day.
Too funny ! Although I'm sure you were not laughing so much :) Thanks for the tip and have a HUGE drink. You deserve it !
Good to know :)
I just had 2 glasses of wine with my co-workers (and boss!) at lunch ~ its definitely not too early!!
At least it wasn't the contents of the child's diaper.
It takes several baths to get that smell out of a child's hair.
It's five o'clock somewhere. ;)
Tip #1343:
An entire box of maxipads stuck to a wall painted in eggshell....well you know the outcome. USE SATIN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
;)
please be sure to remind your cherub of this at every opportunity once they reach the age of 15. too bad you didn't get a picture.
Thank you for brightening my day. Things like that happen in my house on a daily basis (including the dog peeing while the door bell rings...). Glad to know that I'm not alone (and for the tip).
It's always past 5 somewhere.
Thanks for the tip.
F. B.
WD40 takes non washable crayon off paint.
For most of 2.5 weeks I have not had a dryer. Murphy's Law of Parenting says this is when your fairly well potty trained child will regress.
It IS 5PM somewhere!
Thanks! Go have a drink for sure!
Hahahaha!! I would have started with the dawn myself, but only because I know that's the only thing that gets the Crisco off of my hands. :)
And yes, you TOTALLY deserve a drink. :)
Yes, you may have a drink.
