Embarrassed and guilty

[bringee]

I've just come back from a toddler group. I asked someone to watch my child for 2 seconds while I fetch the other from the car. She said yes (I know her and trust her). Next thing her child hurts herself - I presume because she was busy with my baby. I feel super guilty. I will never ask someone to watch my kid for 2 seconds ever again. AIBU? I'm so ashamed of myself. On top of that I cried in front of everyone. I don't want to return.

It's not your fault! Honestly, these things happen.

Yes YABU. If she wasn't able to watch 2 kids at once she would have said. Accidents happen. Was her child badly hurt or just a minor thing that was over before it happened? And how old is her child?

Are you ok OP? This seems like a bit of an over reaction. How old is your baby - do you have support at home if you are feeling quite emotional?

Don't be daft. These things happen! Even closely supervised children hurt themselves!!! Maybe drop her a text and apologise if you feel it's needed. Children do hurt themselves, it's a big part of how they learn. Obviously you can and should prevent many injuries but not all of them. Don't beat yourself up

It happens sometimes! Dont feel guilty.

I'm going through a rough patch at the moment. I hope everyone doesn't think I'm stupid now. Such a cringe moment the crying and everything.
