Can't believe what I did to dd today - feel awful!

This morning dd(7) was arsing about brushing her teeth and after telling her to do it properly a couple of times I told her I was going to do it. She was being v uncooperative and wouldn't stay still, whining etc. I was getting more and more frustrated and cross and then at some point in the proceedings I realised there was blood coming out of her mouth! She said "my tooth!" and I realised I had actually brushed her wobbly front tooth out! And because she was in such a frazzle she swallowed the bloody thing.

The worst part was when dd1 walked in and saw the blood and said "what have you done to her?" blush

A cuddle, some cash for the tooth and admiring her new gap in the mirror sent her off to school smiling but I still feel awful that I did that!

What's the worst thing you have inadvertantly done to your child?

I punched DD in the face.... While desperately and unsuccessfully trying to catch her as she attempted to dive face first from a windowsill onto a pile of plastic tat.

I felt nauseous for about three days. She was fully recovered after about three minutes.

constantly knocking elbow-height dd in the head. My toddler bangs his head so often he doesn't seem to notice anymore confused. Been in a & e numerous times for various things.
