Daughter broke her arm

My daughter had a sleepover with three of her friends, they were fooling around, throwing pillows at each other etc and one of the friends jumped into my DD and broke her arm. The friend has not acknowledged the accident happening, didn’t apologise, in fact tried to make out my daughter was attention seeking even after we went to A&E and had the xRay confirming it’s broken, didn’t say thank you when she left and I’ve had not a word from her mother. Am I wrong to feel very upset by this whole situation. Accidents happen and I didn’t want the friend to feel bad at the time but today I’m livid and the impact the broken arm has on my daughter is huge, it’s her right hand, no sport etc.

How old are they? I'd expect the Mother to ask how she is and send some chocolates/sweets. Do the parents know what happened? Going forward they should talk about the dangers of jumping on each other.

What ages are the girls? What does your daughter say about the accident? On the surface, it sounds like they were messing around and the broken arm was a genuine accident. I imagine the friend didn't say anything because she was embarrassed, guilty and doesn't have the emotional maturity to deal with the incident. I would have expected her mother (assuming she knows your daughter has broken her arm?) to have been in touch though - very poor manners otherwise.

OP, I think you have accidentally posted this twice - but everyone on both threads seems to be saying the same thing. From interest, when did this incident happen?

How old is your daughter?
