what's the worst thing you've done (on accident) to DC?
Saw this on 0-6, and made me wonder what some of your answers would be. Here's their link: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/21370114.aspx

Re: what's the worst thing you've done (on accident) to DC?
LOL! That post cracks me up.
Me with my littlest.
lets see...
She fell twice off the bed while in my care
She stuck her fingers in the door with me while I was closing it
I've bonked her head in the wall SO many times.
hmmm I'm sure there's more. Poor kid was born to a klutz.
She was probably around 6 months old. I was carrying her and dropped her paci. I bent down to get it and somehow she fell back out of my arms. I have no idea what happened, she cried a little, I cried a lot. I don't even know if she hit her head. There wasn't even a bump, but I called the resident on call, LOL, I was totally freaked out.
Totally lack of sleep, she was still waking up a ton at that point...
I have 2...
1) When DD was 2 weeks old I forgot to buckle the car seat. It was winter so she had a blanket over her in the carrier and I didn't think to check. ooopppsss!
2) I was loading groceries into the trunk and the cart started to roll away (she was in it). She got about 6 feet away before I realized it. Again OOOPPPSSS!
LOL X!!
edit: LOL to alot of these!!! I mean, poor kiddos, but looking back, its hard not to giggle at it.
I was going XC skiing with DD (so I had the ski trailer, my skis/poles, and clothes/snacks/etc. for both of us.
I was going into the warming hut to get us bundled up and I had an armload of stuff and DD in my arm. I didn't realize there was a little step up and completely fell on the floor. I hit my knee first and DD's head second.
Mine are many of the same in the post.
I've scratched both of them with my ring and finger nails.
I clipped a tiny bit of DD's finger trying to cut her nails. I did this twice. I no longer cut their nails, it's DH's job.
I dropped the remote on DD's head when she was a newborn.
I drove with the straps undone on DS's carseat.
I ran into the hallway wall with DS's head.
DH went to step over DD when she was about 9 months old. She was standing in the kitchen and as he stepped over her his leg caught her head and she slammed to the floor. That was the worse!
I dislocated her arm last December - I was holding her hand and she tripped and it just popped out. The ER doc was able to pop it right back in, but now she's more prone to the dislocation (nursemaids elbow) and it's popped out a couple of times since, but always pops right back in on its own.
Ooo that's a fear of mine! I'm always so worried that his little arm is going to pop out! Does she scream and cry when it happens? I assume it hurts right?
I have 2 more. When DD was still a newborn, DH was eating chips and salsa while he was holding her. The salsa dropped right in her eye.
Also when DD was newbornish I was sleeping on the couch with her. She would only sleep on my chest so I had her on top and a sheet wrapped over us tucked under me. I woke up to her screaming on the floor still hanging on to the sheet. She must have slid down it like a pirate! No more sleeping on me after that.
Surprisingly, no. My mom accidentally popped it out while we were shopping a couple weeks ago and she just started yelling "My arm hurts! My arm hurts!" I made her reach up to grab a snack I was holding and it popped back in. The first time it happened, she did cry at first, but stopped pretty quickly - I could definitely tell it was bothering her though.
I forgot about this one! Another check for me.
Oh there's so many.
1) scratch DS with my engagement ring when he was just a few days old, he screamed bloody murder, I stoped wearing my engagement for 3 months after that.
2) I clipped DD's finger instead of her nails when she was a week old, she cried I cried, it was a mess.
I fell with Jonas...tripped over the baby gate and came crashing down. If I would have held onto him, he would have been smooshed under me, so I gave him a little push and twist to the side as I was falling and he landed flat on his back with a thud. He was only probably about 4-5 months old. Luckily, I took the worst of the fall.
A few days ago, my husband dropped his phone and it literally bounced off of the top of M's head. He cried like it was the worse pain ever : ( It really wasn't bad, but he does the bad stuff to himself. He doesn't need our help. LOL.
nail clippers here, at a few weeks old. After that, I just bit his nails off while BFing for months.
The worst thing that happened to him? My dad had him on the kitchen counter, PAC dropped his toy, dad reached down to get it, but PAC came tumbling down, face first onto the tile floor. You guys remember the black eye/stiches pic, right?
Just a few weeks ago, I nearly starved Jayden to death. Ok, that's being a tad bit dramatic, but I'll never forgive myself for it!!
We were at Busch Garden and he had refused breakfast that morning and since his speech is delayed (and he was overstimulated) he had no way of telling me he was hungry at the park. He was having fits and I was getting really angry and frustrated. Got on a roller coaster with my mom and on the ride up to the top I kept thinking about Jayden. On the ride down I didn't even scream b/c it was then that I realized that my child must be hungry. Got off the ride and went straight to get him a hot dog and fries and he devoured it. every.single.crumb.
Yeah, I felt HORRIBLE!

Oh man!!! I would never forget that either... they should have had them clearly labeled.
