DS fell last night..I feel so bad

momma2alex

We were carving the pumpkin, DS was "helping" and standing on one of our dining room chairs at the table (stupid mistake #1), and either DH or I was right next to him at all times.  Well it was me who was standing next to him(DH was taking pictures), when DS takes just a slight step off the edge of the chair, falls and hits the back of his head on the tile floor.  It happened so fast, that I couldn't get him and just saw that terrible look on his face when it happened.  DH didn't help the situations much, he scooped him up after I was comforting him, my hands were full of pumpkin goo, and then said "Way to watch him."  When I already felt horrible. 
He later apologized and said he never should have said that, he was upset. I was already crying after DS calmed down b/c I felt so bad.   DS had (still has some remnants) of a big goose egg on the back of his head.  I am usually so careful, that is why I think I am so upset at myself.  I still feel bad today, normally I can let things go, but for some reason I am still pretty upset.  It has also been a pretty crappy morning otherwise, and I think I am PMS'ing all of which doesn' t help....

Anyone got any chocolate ?

That's shitty that he said that to you.  Don't beat yourself up though, accidents happen to everyone.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I yanked a chair out from DD last week (obviously I didn't know she was leaning on it). She fell, smacked her forehead on the concrete floor and started screaming. I felt wretched and she still has a bruise and the remnants of a goose egg to remind me. Uch. Luckily, their memories are short!
