I feel so absolutely dreadful as its my fault. He was having one of his meltdowns as he is nearly two and couldnt have the tv on i think at that point. So i let him rage and comfort him when he feels he needs it, and wait for it to pass. However his latest thing is hitting and its about the only thing he goes on naughty step for, as i dont know what else to do. Anyway i warned him about hitting then carried it through and sat him on the stairs. He then threw himself on to the next step which he often does in a meltdown, but the worst thing is i didnt realise he bumped his face and didnt see it until after his two mins were up. I feel so wretched about it all and we had a big hug and he seems ok but i cant stop thinking about it. My dad and Stepmum were here too which made it worse. Not that they were critical as they tried to tell me he will get more than one bruise throughout toddlerdom but its not really helping. Strangely after the step he was a lot calmer and back to normal. I am also terrified of what people will think when they see a bruise on his face, which is ridiculous i know.
Feeling like the prime candidate for shit mum of the year award now :(
