To still blame DH for daughters injury

Two years ago, over lockdown my DD6 was playing in the garden after dinner, DH outside doing some diy, I was bathing the baby inside. My DD runs in screaming, blood pouring and has a big gauge in her cheek. The injury is still very visible even after maxofacial surgery this year. It breaks my heart to look at her sometimes and I can't help feeling that if DH had kept an eye on her like I'd asked him to this wouldn't have happened - if I had seen her on the play equipment with jagged stick in hand I would have stopped her, just instinctively. I've never said anything directly to him but I do snap at him more, has anyone been through similar?

Does he blame you for not watching her whilst he was doing DIY? So he was busy doing DIY and you were busy bathing the baby......neither of you were watching your daughter........ At least she won't run around with sticks anymore, we all live and learn and it was no one's fault but hers. Sounds like you need to grow up it happened years ago and I can't believe you deem it still worthy of your and our time. Wait till she starts driving lol
