To think my DM reaction was quite sadistic

[dejavu2014]

Me and my DS visited a farm/play area yesterday. We went to see the chickens and turkeys. He ran ahead of me (not too far) and put his hands on the metal fence. The turkey then bit him. He had a tiny scratch but was a bit shaken up and obviously I picked him up and comforted him.
My parents came over in the afternoon and I told them what happened. It was a bit funny how he kept telling us about his finger and the manner he was saying it but I wouldn't say I got pleasure out of him getting hurt.
But my DM absolutely laughed her head off, she found it hilarious until the point she was crying with laughter. I said ok it weren't that funny but she just carried on and said it was so funny!
For background he's 2.5 years old and my DM seems to find it funny when people hurt themselves e.g. trip over hurt themselves or other incidents like it.

I treasure the memory of one of the last times my mother was able to get out and about - I took her to a nearby park, and the council had just installed various keep-fit devices along the paths. We came to one that was parallel bars at chest height. I decided to try it, raised myself up on the bars and hurt my shoulder :( Luckily there was a bench nearby so my mother could sit down, as she couldn't stand for laughing so hard as I hopped around cursing and massaging my shoulder 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Everyone reacts differently to different scenarios.
One of my brother's fell from a ladder and broke his back. I was laughing so hard that I think the paramedics considered giving me oxygen as well as him. Then I sent texts afterwards about taking snakes and ladders to the extreme, stuff like that. Which he found funny too.
His wife reacted differently, she was running round screaming and crying hysterically.
I still laugh now at it. ( fortunately, he healed well with no lasting damage )
It doesn't make me a sadist or suggest that I don't love my brother, it's just my involuntary reaction.
Don't be too hard on your mother, I'm sure that if it came to it she would lay her life down for her grandchild. I would.

Maybe it's just me who doesn't find people's pain funny. I mean a small trip or fall with no serious injuries yea would be funny. But being knocked unconscious or a broken back I wouldn't laugh

"Laughing when people hurt themselves"?! You know, that would make me very very angry.

A friend of my mums does this; it’s like a nervous reaction to people getting hurt, she isn’t really finding it funny. She did the same when I rode her pony (as a child!) and it took off with me round the paddock. Pony was bolting rings round her and all she could do was quite literally wet herself with laughter in the middle!

I was with friends once walking down the street, a group of boys were ahead of us, one turned around and started walking backwards, then turned around and walked straight into a lamppost. Knocked himself out cold!

I’m the first person there if anything goes wrong type person (I’m a first aid trainer too so have a little knowledge that could help).
But I admit me and my friends went silent, and then keeled over laughing. It was because how comical it was. Proper holding each other up. For the record he came around quickly, got up and was just embarrassed, refused us calling an ambulance.

So no matter how caring you are, sometimes that one thing happens that just gets you laughing. Don’t take it personally OP, it’s just your mum instincts kicking in!

AhoyDelBoy An unconscious, bleeding woman lying in the street is funny????

In those circumstances MrsSpenserGregson, yeh kinda 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe it’s the way you’ve explained it or maybe it’s just ‘tickled’ me in the way PPs talk about. It’s not funny but it is, IYKWIM. I only say this because you tripped. It would be abit different if you’d been beaten or mowed down by a car. If it’s any consolation today I was attacked by a swarm of wasps I think that’s quite funny now too.
