to have laughed internally at dd smacking a nurse

[biddysmama]

she went for jabs today (14 months) the nurse did one in her leg then went for the other and came back.... dd smacked her and said "NO! goway"

now i dont condone hitting nurses but shes only little was hard not to laugh! you can tell she has a big brother

pmsl

good on her

? Yeah I am sure the nurse loves being smacked by a 14 month old while her mother sits there grinning and making excuses.

Haha! Bless her - how did the nurse react?

Am sure its not the first (or last!) time this will have happened.

keep your wig on textpest, I'm sure she didn't leave a mark

she smacked her hand, i doubt it hurt i did say 14 months, not 14 years... and the nurse was fine about it and i apologised!!

Tsk tsk biddysmama, you must DISCIPLINE that 14mo baby before it's Too Late

she is now sitting in a dog crate as punishment for being too forward in not allowing the woman to hurt her twice... how very dare she stand up for herself!

Good. Now poke her with a sharp pencil until she begs for mercy

I bet the nurse pissed herself laughing too.

Chill our textpest, bloody hell...

You obviously do not have a handle on your child's behaviour and she is going the right waay about getting an ASBO.

I would think the nurse has had to go to a and e to get an assessment on her injury at work.
I would await a no claim no fee solicitors letter.

AT DD2's 5 month jabs DD1 yelled at the nurses to 'Stop hurting my sister, she's only a BABY, you MEANIES!'

We all posl, including the receptionist and the entire waiting room.

I think its funny!

They are far more sensible at my drs, two nurses do the jabs simultaneously so its over very quickly (and one does paperwork while other fills up needle etc so clinic moves very fast)

Presumerably at 14mo the ops dd was wondering why this strange woman was stabbing her with a needle and not being disciplined textpest

No, Textpest is right. 14 month old babies will be violent if their mummies allow it. This is where it starts. We need a zero-tolerance approach to violent babies otherwise we're all fucked and it'll be like MadMax in this country within ten years.

I used to be a nurse, and I wouldn't have taken this as a sign that the OP's dd was headed for a lifetime of beating up healthcare professionals - especially as the OP did apologise to the nurse.

OP - perhaps next time, you should take Voulez's dd1 with you and your dd.

YABU nurses should only ever being given timeouts. She is probably going to need therapy and everything now.

SDTG if a child of fourteen months struck you and you did not CALL THE POLICE as a matter of urgency then this is a dereliction of your duty to society. If we all turn a blind eye to thuggish babies God only knows what will happen.

I am so sorry, cupcakes - I know I am a total disappointment all round.

You would be contributing to the rise in anti-social crime by not reporting a 14 month old baby, I hope you can rest easy at night...

arf @ all

I don't think that's funny - you should have been holding her arm out of the way so she didn't get a needle in her hand.

I give baby imms and whilst being smacked wouldn't bother me unduly I would have had a "holy crap that could have been a lot worse than it was" moment.

But the nurse made sure the 2nd jab hurt

I would make your fourteen month old sharpen pencils as a punishment!

No, thehat.

The fourteen month old needs some time on the naughty step or maybe under the thinking tree. This is totally unacceptable, I mean hitting nurses one minute, mugging grannies the next. It's a sliiiiipppppeerrrryyy slooooppppeeee.

But what if when your dd smacked the nurses hand and the syringe ended up impaled in your dd?

It could have gone in her eye.
