The Worst Thing I Ever Accidentally Did To My Kid': Parents Confess Their Biggest Fails

I accidentally used his washcloth to wipe icy hot off my fingers right before he went to wash his face. Of COURSE it got in his eyes. -- gwennyrah

Left my 6mo sitting on the kitchen counter. As in, I was holding her there and then just left her and WALKED AWAY. -- MomCheri

I gave my kid rancid milk one time. He drank half like a champ and then stopped. I tasted to show him it was ok. It was NOT OK. :( -- Josh

THIS MORNING AS I SIT AND READ MY COMPUTER STORIES,

ONE TOPIC CATCHES MY INTEREST....

ACCIDENTS WE CAUSED OUR CHILDREN.

WE PROBABLY ALL HAVE SOME IF WE THINK BACK.

FOR SOME OF US, IT WAS YESTERDAY, OTHERS IT WAS

WAY BACK AS OUR KIDDIES ARE NOW GROWN.

IT IS THOSE THINGS WE WOULD LOVE TO FORGET ABOUT.

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY OWN...

1) When Baby Boy was about 6 months old, while bathing

him he slipped out my hands and I hit his head on the toilet.

He cried.... a lot and yet, still not more than me.

2) Gypsy baby was a hefty little one....

I was washing the dishes as she cried at my legs,

I came to pick her up with wet hands by pulling

her up by the arms, one hand slipped and I landed up

dislocating her elbow causing her to have a few more

incidents of "Nurse Maids elbow" which was very painful

to put back in place.

3) Baby boy, at 5 was hurt playing football with an older

neighborhood child. I took him to the hospital and although

he complained of much pain, they told me he was fine.

That Sunday was Mothers day, I forced him to play

in the game room at the mall throwing basketballs

as he cried that he was in pain. I really thought he was being

dramatic as he had a way of being back then.

I almost died on the Monday when the radiologist called

to say his collar bone was broken and had been misdiagnosed.

Oh that one was bad, bad!

4) While putting Gypsy baby in her car seat, trying to tuck

in all her rolls in her legs, I accidentally touched the hot metal to 

her inner thigh causing a blister. When I took her to the doctor,

the doctor, doing his job, questioned my extensively on how it happened

deciding whether or not he needed to report it as child abuse.

I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE, I ACTUALLY KNOW THERE

ARE MORE BECAUSE THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS 

THAT JUST DO NOT LEAVE US TO BECOME A FORGOTTEN

MEMORY. THEN THERE WAS THE ONE HOBL CAUSED

ON THE MORNING OF HIS 5TH BDAY PARTY.

HOBL ALWAYS PLAYED ROUGHLY WITH BB AND

I ALWAYS FUSSED. ON THIS MORNING HE PINCHED HIS

NOSE SO HARD THAT HE CAUSED HIS NOSE TO BRUISE.

OH DID POOR HOBL GET FUSSED FOR THAT ONE!

IF YOU EVER SEE OUR HOME VIDEOS FROM BB'S 

5TH BDAY YOU MAY NOTICE HIS NOSE BEING BLUE.

IT IS NOT CAKE ICING, BELIEVE ME.

Yes, we all have our own list of stories to tell

and yet, it did not make us bad parents, it made us human parents.
