to keep DD1 off school after she fell down the stairs?

[VoulezVouzCrochezAvecMoiCeSoir]

She is 4 so it's only nursery anyway, and she FELL down the stairs! I don't want to see that again.
She just tumbled sideways, she was in front of DD2 and I and I just saw her topple from sitting and roll...

So I think she might come to toddler group with us after a quick visit to the doctor. She has such a huge fear of doctors she will hide any injury to avoid having to see them and is insisting she is fine, I can't see anything but aibu to take her and then keep her off school so I can keep an eye on her?

YANBU, give her a day at home with lots of cuddles.

Did she lose her balance? Could she have an ear infection perhaps? How did she manage to fall from a sitting position.

YABVVU.

Not really But you know that

Hope she's ok x

Of course YANBU. TBH, given her fear of drs, I wouldn't even take her to dr unless there was something to worry you (ie not as a precaution). Shell enjoy the playgroup and you'll soon see if she's not herself.

God knows how she fell. I wasn't watchign her I was trying to stop DD2 jumping down the steps and saw her go out of the corner of my eye.
Bless her, I screamed 'Fuck! DD1!' [potty mouth]
She jumped straight up at the bottom and said (in a very tremulous voice) 'I'm okay, mummy' and then we both burst into tears.
She just keeps telling me she'fine because I yelled and she thought I was cross with her, bless her.

Ear infection is good theory, DD2 just got over one, no temp yet but am taking her to docs anyway, I don't care if she is shovelling in breakfast will make me feel btter!

pretty, I do see what you mean but she is all excited about missing school and getting to come to playgroup with us so I don't want it to be a massive reward for falling down the stairs...I know how her mind works!

You know she is going to back to school tomorrow, drop something and yell "FUCK"

LOL!

(Sorry!). Glad she seems ok, but yup MmeLindt that is definitely what my DS would do :p

I remember falling down the stairs, from the top, at that age - because I was leaning forward to see how far I could lean before losing my balance . Never did it again, and didn't confess to my mum why I'd fallen. Hope she's ok. Must have been a horrid shock for you.
