I just bought a case of fancy beer that should have paid $36 for. I didn't even realize because I just handed my card over she only charged me 18.85. 12 pack price oops....I'm not going back though :-)

I'm trying to be rational about it but I'm finding it impossible right now.
My friend who was with us pointed out we go to soft play every week and nothing like this has ever happened before, so 99% of the time, DS leaves in one piece and I do keep him safe.
But - I'm scared. I'm worried I will worry myself into a state, become a nervous wreck and without meaning it, not look after them properly because I'm not concentrating or am too stressed to think straight.
I got loads of counselling to help my anxiety about keeping my kids safe, which helped me step back, relax and enjoy them. Now I'm scared that counselling had made me too relaxed and now maybe I'm reckless.
But being nervous and scared makes me not focus and that's when accidents happen, so I can't win.
Oh and to really kick me when I'm down, when I was putting DS in the car after the accident he looked at me so sadly and said really quietly "we aren't best friends anymore mummy".
lulu I am so sorry that your DS got hurt. It sounds like a crazy accident and can't really prevent those. You still acted quickly and hope you know that kids get more coordinated and it won't always be like this.

lulu that's a rough day but it in no way makes you a incompetent mom. Accidents happen you took the right steps afterwards to make sure he was okay please don't dwell on this.

My ILs listed there house yesterday and already have an offer for 10k over asking. They also still have some showings set up, so they could get more than that of there is a bidding war. I wish the market was like that where I currently live.

lulu please please do not beat yourself up over this. I promise that things like this happen even when you are diligent about safety and generally in control of a situation. If you do need to talk to someone then by all means, do...but just don't think you are in any way incapable of taking care of your kids. My boys have told me numerous times that we aren't friends anymore and even though I am supposed to be the adult and I know they are full of crap, it still stings. Don't let that get to you either. It was a temporary thing.

lulu don't beat yourself up. You are a fantastic mom to all of your kids. For what it's worth, dd1 had a pretty good day hanging out and shopping with me today. I just asked her if we are friends and she said no. She usually tells me aren't friends when I ask her, but I know that she still loves me.
lulu that sounds like a terrible day. Toddlers are toddlers though. Mine scraped his entire abdomen on a straw (in a cup) it looks like a huge scratch. Then jumped in a chair and fell out on a concrete floor. Thank God my big old bag was on the floor because his head landed on that. It could have been much worse. Just letting you know it happens to all of us.
It's summer here, luckily the humidity hasn't caught up yet.
Just got back from Disney, and now it's off to my Dad's to play the updated Trivial Pursuit game!
I'm kinda jealous that your all just got back from Disney! Ugh, why couldn't we be moving there!
I told DH this today, how it's great to go to Disney then being able to head over to my Dad's. Sometimes I feel like we should still be in NYC, but then days like this happen and it makes me happy.
I did very little drinking of water at Disney, then drank a bottle of wine at my dad's. Just a little drunk. But man, did I have fun tonight. I did not win the new trivial pursuit. For those that haven't played the updated version, you basically win a participation piece if you really suck. Arguments were had.
Oh lulu that's sounds like an absolutely miserable day. You are a great Mom, try to be kind to yourself and see if you can make an appointment with your counsellor next week. I'm sure that will help.
So you know, my kid has a giant bruise on her forehead and I have no clue whatsoever how she got it.
