We had a bad scare with our eldest when she was about 18 minths. Turned out my aul lad had given her a polo mint. When challenged, he said ā€˜sure she couldnā€™t choke on a polo mint. There is a hole in themā€™. Aghast, is the only way to describe mrs barnesā€™s reaction.

My Mrs has an awful fear of kids chokingā€¦ Everything is diced upā€¦ Sausages and grapes set her off into a code red. An almighty row between sisters at a family bbq last year.

Iā€™d have been the same, I had an irrational fear of lollipops and never let ours near them.

The first aid courses they have are worth doing for this kind of stuff

I was in Dunnes a few weeks back and came back to the ambulance in the driveway :grimacing:.

Little wan had done a handstand, landed on her back and briefly passed out. The poor missus was white when I pulled in. The little wan in the back of the ambulance smiling away.

The nephew of a good mate of mine died when only 3 or 4 after choking on a little pebble he put in his mouth. Itā€™s so easily done. Grapes used to send Mrs Mac crazy if she ever saw someone dare to give one to our kids if they werenā€™t chopped up

Couldnā€™t even imagine it. Awful.

Dunnes is cheaper than Aldi now with the vouchers.

The buzz from being a big deal by passing on a voucher to the person behind you in the queue is unrealā€¦ Half the store looking at you in awe as you strut out of the place with Saturday night fever playing in your head.

Worrying, standard of driving gone to fuck

I still remember choking on a sweet as a very young child and the sheer helplessness. My mother spotted me and four or five sharp slaps between my shoulder blades freed it. Even typing this now brings back the kitchen, about 7:30 in evening and for some reason being picked up and rushed to back door of house.
