I am such a s**t mother!!!

[wobblyknicks]

DD just pulled open a cupboard and in a flash, even though I was right next to her, pulled a jar of silver dip off the shelf and onto the floor. I yanked her straight away, which made her yell like a banshee, rubbed her down quickly with a wet teatowel then gave her a bath. She seems happy now (that her mother isn't pulling her here there and everywhere in panic mode) but what should I do now?

Don't want to ring NHS Direct as seem to ring them too much and I'll have SS round wondering why I let my baby near silver dip!!! Could it hurt her skin and what if she managed to get the minutest amount in her mouth?

Feel like utter s**t

It sounds 100% like ds2 was, honestly. I wish you could see a tape of him then and now, so you can appreciate the difference in him.

I know exactly what you mean though.

Thanks everyone - dd's fine this morning, doesn't seem to have done her any harm at all. When anybody else's kids ahve accidents you just think oh well, kids do but when its you you think its all your fault . Oh well, at least it wasn't any more serious!!! Am ordering some cupboard locks today tho!!!

wobblyknicks i always think it's my fault and think about what Could've happened!
Last night dd was playing in the garden with daddy and decided to go "rock climbing" up a rockery around a huge tree, fell and has the size of a two pence scuff with sctratches on her face. It looks awful, DP nearly died when he saw my face and said he thought i was gonna kill him!
He beleives in more risk taking than i do!!

I'm gald she's o.k ++

Good news about little knicks wk,how are you feeling?

Angeliz, poor thing! I bet she will tell some story about how daddy failed her when she needed him most, in nursery

Thanks lou and angeliz - lou, I'm feeling ok now thanks, went to bed with some dairy milk last night and consoled myself that I'll never be perfect!!! Angeliz - poor you!!!

dearie me wk, must have been a bit of a shock to the system to say the least, and glad that DD is fine and dandy and you are feeling better today. the chocolate cure sounds a great idea.

You are def Not s**t mother.
My partner looked after our son for a year while i worked then we swapped roles-2nd day with my son he gashed his head open on radiator and has a scar 4 years later to remind me of my sh*tness.
Then last week i slammed the side of his head in the car door(by accident)!I did not know he was there as he was being uncharacteristically quiet.Lots of blood but he was ok i sobbed for ages.and spent the night up and down to his room to make sure he was breathing.I win!

Glad she's OK WK!

I'll tell you my latest bad Mummy moment to help make you feel better. Last week DH and I had been moving the livingroom round to see how some new furniture we had been looking at would look, we moved the telly over the other side of the room, realised the aerial socket at that side didn't work so had to move it back again, meantime a table had been put in the TV's old place so we left it sitting out a couple of feet into the room, DH went back to work and I was on MN. We heard a terrible crash and DS2 start to scream, he had pushed the TV off the stand from behind because he didn't like what was on! He was shaking, I was shaking, all I could think of was "what if", it could of landed on him or exploded or something! Good news is that the tube in the TV whistled something awful and the fall has fixed it.

I've also done doobydoo's head in car door to DS1, no blood though, although the next day he didn't seem right at all so I phoned the Dr who said they thought it was just coincidence that he had come down with a virus at the same time and to keep an eye on him.

I better not continue, I'll be here all night!

and "Dr who" said he would come straight round in the tardis if we had any further problems!

WK - glad there were no problems!

Thanks mts and chinchilla, doobydoo + demented - god, what a shock!! Am sure I'll be posting similar stuff in a couple of years!!!
