To be annoyed that after DD party a mother text me informing her DS has a HUGE bruise?

[hulahoopsilove]

My DD had a party at an activity centre one of the invited guests mother told me her DS had already been here and it was fantastic. On the day her DS slipped down a slide and hurt his leg...I immediately asked for ice packs and an accident book was filled in staff were great. Mother of said child said oh its ok he's very dramatic at times. Today I get a text saying that her DS had a huge bruise on his leg but is ok.

I have responded saying how sorry I was to hear that and did she want me to complain to the venue Ive heard nothing back.

I feel completely and utterly awful - what that the intention of the mother do you think???

Probably just letting you know. I wouldn't read anything into it.

Doesn't sound like it - especially in the context of her already making the remark about her DS being a bit "dramatic". Sounds as if she just wanted to reassure you that her DS is ok now?

YABU. The mother was just letting you know her DS was OK despite outward appearances.

i think she was just letting you know (in case you were wondering)
i don't read from that message that she wanted you to do anything

She's just letting you know he's ok! YABU

I think she was just reassuring you that he's just got a bruise.

Umm not sure this is a mother who usually text when wanting something.

also it came with a shocked/sad face thingy

Don't panic!

Like others have said she's just reassuring you that he has a bruise but other than that he's OK
(ie. he can walk/bend his leg/his leg's not hanging off )

Yep, same from me - I read that as her just updating you that although he's got a bruise he's fine. Don't worry about it!

There's another way of interpreting this. She minimised the incident at the time and said her son can be dramatic. Now he's got a huge bruise maybe she feels a little guilty that she could have sounded a little flippant when her son was actually hurt. But it is only a bruise, so he is ok!

Not your fault at all. And kids clambering and playing will slip, fall and bruise themselves at times. Not sure what a complaint would do, unless there was actually a safety concern you have regarding the activity centre.

If a bruise from playing is the only thing she has to worry about then she's a lucky woman.

You are well overthinking this.

If she was going to make a fuss, she would have at the time. This is just an fyi text.

ffs sake aren't knocks and bumps part of childhood ?? unless you wrap them in cotton wool, which is totally daft unless there is a good reason to protect them a bit more, i.e sn etc. as other posters have said, the lad is o.k mum is o.k, everyone probably had a great time and would like to go again in the future.
