DS2 (14 months) dropped a glass on the kitchen floor. I told DS1 (8) to make sure he had slippers on, as there is glass on the floor in the kitchen. I made sure he'd heard and understood, I know what he's like...
Later, he's still wandering barefoot in the house and comes to help in the kitchen. He manages to find that one piece of unswept glass (WHY is there always a bit that escapes?) then has a meltdown because his foot is bleeding.
Am I a bad mother because I didn't sweep him up and comfort him, but instead made him wash his filthy feet and put on his shoes? (You know, like I told him to do hours earlier....)
