AIBU?

To think running over my sons foot with a car should have hurt more then this?

I feel terrible before you start my 10 year old son was rushing to get into the car. I thought he was in, he wasn't and I ran over his foot! He cried for about 10mins then said he was fine. U was ready to take him to a&e but he said he wanted to go to school. My husband is a first aider, checked him out and said ' he's fine, I've had my foot run over loads of times!' Is it possible that he's actually inherited feet made from steel?!

My dad once made a bow and arrow for my brother out of sticks and string, with a rusty old nail for the point of the arrow. I walked straight into his line of fire and he shot me in the hand.

Your DS will be fine

As it was over 4 years ago I imagine his foot is better now.

My stepdad ran over my right foot this afternoon, for the same reason. The only thing that´s left after 6 hours is a small blue line between the 2 leftmost metatorsel bones. No swollen foot, no noticable pain, except if I push on that spot.

If the car´s light enough (like with my accident), you should be fine. If you do still feel pain after 6 hours or so (or a lot of pain the first 1/2 hours), you might want to go get it checked.

TheRealAdaLovelace · 09/08/2016 07:53

could I just add that I had my foot run over by a double decker bus and it was fine...

Naoko · 09/08/2016 07:51

My dad did that once (by accident of course!) , i don't remember it hurting much. Now a horse standing on your foot, that's a different matter altogether. Give me the car any day of the week.

BikeRunSki · 09/08/2016 07:46

I can confirm that 30 years after having my hand run over, it's still fine.

I had my foot run over when I was about 12. I was with my friends and they didn't believe me because I want writhing round in agony.

I don't remember it even being sore.

My foot got run over by a packed land train once, didn't even bruise. I got in a lot of trouble from my parents though for messing around :D

BitOutOfPractice · 09/08/2016 06:43

I too have driven over my child's foot.

When I took her boot off to look I expected a mangled bloody mess. It was fine.

The only lasting damage is that she still mentions it now, 6 years later

Bashfunk · 09/08/2016 04:52

Glad I read this, 2 days ago a car sped off as I was approaching and rolled straight over my foot.. After the initial shock and slight pain I was able to casually walk home, took off my shoes wriggled my toes to reveal no damage, or much pain either. I thought for a while I was superhuman or maybe the pain and swelling would come soon after.. However no pain since and when I could not find the remote and had to get up to turn the TV on I realised I was no longer superhuman either.

When she first told me I figured it was rubbish, in fact I decided she was one who told tall tales and kept a distance. Then I met her dad who confirmed it. My face was just like ^

Both were fine 5Foot5

Someone I know ran over his daughters head! Honestly! She slipped in mud as he was reversing. The ground was so soft that she had no more than a tyre track and a headache.

20 years later she thinks it's hilarious, he looks like he wants to vomit every time she mentions it.

My mother reversed over our cat on the driveway one day. She was fine!

Your mother or the cat?

PeppermintBark · 22/11/2013 16:26

Keep an eye on it, though: one of DD2's friends had this happen to her a few months ago. She ended up getting a stress fracture in the foot and had to wear a boot in order for it to heal.

Deadhamsterssmell · 22/11/2013 16:20

You're in for an expensive weekend I think. I like the fact that he has it written on both hands just in case you don't notice it on one.

notnagging · 22/11/2013 16:01

Well he's come out of school and said he's been fine. But he has KFC written on both hands so he must have been thinking about what treats he could get all day.

"When I first read your title I thought you wanted it to hurt him!" LOL! Yeah, little bugger, I even went back and did it a second time and I still didn't damage him

Tyres and shoes tend to prevent too much damage. Now try shutting your son's finger in the hinge side of the car door .... not that really does hurt!!

Percephone · 22/11/2013 15:34

notnagging · 22/11/2013 15:32

I'm surprised I didn't get a call from school, I was imagining all sorts! Thought I might even get a call from social services. I've calmed down now but wait for him to come out of school and milk it some more

5foot5 that is crazy! I don't know how I would have reacted. Just reminds you how amazing the human body is.

My DF ran me over with our caravan when I was 7.

We'd arrived at campsite, I got out and ran alongside car as he was heading for our plot. I slowed down, he didn't and whack went the caravan into my back. Down I went, and the tyre of the van proceeded to run my foot over. I remember having a massive bruise on my big toe, which I was quite proud of.

Don't worry OP, I'd completely forgotten about it until I saw this thread!

Beastofburden · 22/11/2013 14:17

He he welcome to the Bad Mothers club...

isme10 · 22/11/2013 13:53

From someone who has done something similar to a friend I can assure you that YOU hurt far more than the foot that got run over.

I felt guilty and terrible for days and they had forgotten about it less than half an hour after it had happened.
