So my SD is 10, DD 11. I've also got an 8 month old DS. A while back my SD insisted on holding her baby brother when in kids swimming pool. I let her, she let go of him but as I was close I caught him and told her not to worry and it's ok. She laughed about it which at the time i brushed off as maybe she was worried so as a worried laugh. That was last time she stayed with us for a long period of time for hols-a couple of months ago.
This time my DH let her hold him when she was sat down as she really wanted to. He dribbled a bit on her as he's teething and she let go of him completely forcing him to go head forwards on the floor. Me and DH luckily caught him otherwise it would have probably been a trip to hospital for him! DH then told her not to worry about it and told me she's not used to babies. Well she is as her mums side of family have babies too. If it was my DD who did that I would have told her off to be honest as it was serious but my DH did nothing and I don't see it as my place to do as it's not.
Ok so my brother never woke up from coma from a head injury after a fall a few months ago. So I think I'm sensitive when it comes to falls because of that. But I feel such anger towards SD for being so careless. It wasn't accidental as she purposely let go not wanting to get dribble on her. Right so, I always enjoy having her with us and I need some wise words from MNs so that I can forget about this and snap back to enjoying having her with us and snap out of this protective mood. I don't want to be seen as evil SM! Just some words of advice would be much appreciated. I told DH she is not to hold our DS again and he agreed. Not for now anyway. I feel bad about that but I can't risk it. Never had this problem with DD and her friends as they all understand dropping a baby head first on the floor is not a good thing to do
