At pick-up last night my DCG fell and landed bottom first on the corner of my wooden time-out chair RIGHT NEXT to DCM. DCM had been here for a few minutes and was on her way out. Now this morning DCM asked for an injury report! I was under the assumption that once parents arrive inside my home that the children are then their responsibility. Plus she was literally INCHES from her daughter. She already knows what happened! Any advice? Should I type up the report?

I wouldn't give her one. She was there standing next to her daughter, it wasn't "on your watch". No way I would give her one. Unless it said, "Susie fell and injured her bottom on a chair today while playing next to her mother."

sure why not. write it just as it happened. If mom was questioned about the bruise she has documentation.
dcg tripped over her own feet because she was running. She hit the corner of a chair with her bottom. Dcm was with her so parent did not need to be notified.It:

I would give her one.
"dcg fell at pickup time while leaving with Mom." Have Mom sign that she witnessed it.
I personally feel that it is silly, but dcg was injured while on your property.Comment

give her one but make sure you mention that mom witnessed the accident too, just incase.Comment

Sure I'd make one up for her, BUT I'd be 100% clear in my wording that DCM was right there with her daughter when it happened and saw the entire thing - happened as they were heading home etc.Comment

Ok. Here is what I put on the report.
DCG fell at pick-up time while leaving with her Mother. She landed on her bottom on the corner of a chair. Her Mother was present during the occurrence.
How does that sound?
Should I add that my husband was also present?Comment

How about:
At the end of the day during pick-up time, DCG fell while in the care of her mother. She landed on her bottom on the corner of a chair.Comment

I don't think you need to put your hubby was there, her own Mother was there for goodness sake!
I would add it happened at the front door, during pick-up and also why/how she fell i.e. she tripped, she was jumping and fell over the corner of the chiar etc. Otherwise I think it's great!Comment

Hand her a blank incident report and tell her once she fills it out you will sign it and copy and return the copy to her.
HAVE HER FILL IT OUT... completely by herself. If you agree with what she has said then sign.
Any custody issues with this kid?Comment

I hadn't thought of that....
. And no custody issues with her parents. Her Mother is just funny like that. She also brought a pillow for DCG to sit on today and asked me to let her sit on an ice-pack a few times today. If she is so concerned I feel she should have taken DCG to the doctor. Lol

Not only would I give her one, I would add a part that says that the parent needs to control the child's behavior when present.
Like nannyde asked is there a current custody battle?Comment
