DCB Injury

[TwinKristi]

Sounds like my poor daughter... She has played softball for years and his year is the first year she hasn't been hit in the head with a. Not so soft softball.. Why the heck they call them softballs anyway???

Last year her own daddy planted one right between her eyes on accident during catching practice.

Crap happens but who truly accidentally injure their child, rushes them to the ER and then blames someone else....

Moms whole recount is fishy IMHO

This is honestly why I would consider reporting her. It's the idea that she did something, even accidentally which yes we all have as parents, but she then freaks out and turns into a self-admitted "crazy mom" and rushes him to the ER and blames you resulting in stress, added admin time and perhaps a visit from licensing. She possibly has mental-health issues and perhaps she is a little "too rough" with the boys especially with their rough behavior and admission of her "poking" too hard in the chest. I don't poke my kids. And if one had a potential heart issue (again... Why wasn't this mentioned before) why would mom be poking him so hard in the chest to leave a mark like that?? None of it adds up to me which is part of where my recommendation came from.
My old provider WAS abusing and neglecting her children along with mine. She was a picture perfect SAHM with a beautifully decorated home, cute kids, a daycare, etc but she was a raging alcoholic (and I heard later she was using drugs too but I don't know about that for sure) and leaving her children and mine to fend for themselves when she was drunk and passed out or puking. There were times they didn't eat lunch or just snacked on what they could find. It's disturbing. No one would have suspected abuse. You never know.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to term, but I have to have at least one replacement first.

When I told her I wasn't happy that the chest thing was never mentioned she said that it's really not an issue until he's a teenager and then they'll have to break his sternum to give his heart and lungs enough room to grow. I'm not sure why they rushed him to the ER then this whole thing just confuses me :confused:

The money isn't what's making me want to keep them. Dcb3 has come a long way in three weeks... his bad behavior is almost non-existent and when he does try to use a tantrum to get his way I can end it pretty quickly.

Maybe she is one of those weird mom's that thrives on the attention medical and illnesses situations bring?

I have a current DCM that seriously goes to the ER every time her child wakes up in the middle of the night. She thinks the child MUST have something.

Once her oldest was having a growing pain and suffering from leg pain in the mornings after getting up.....DCM did her internet research and decided her kid had a terminal bone disease. She posted all over FB about her poor little thing (took pictures of child standing next to a wheel chair) and said "I hope this isn't where my little one is headed"

She THRIVED off the attention. She wasn't one of those Münchausen type moms but she sure gave them a run for their money.

Even now, a slight cold and the kids are in the ER.... never for the health benefit but always for the attention. I really think she thinks it makes her look like the world's best mom to be so on top of it all the time.

I was thinking that non knew of DCBS condition and somehow (purposely or accidentally) poked him too hard, panicked, rushed DCB to ER and while waiting the adrenaline came down and she realized that maybe she rushed her judgment in taking him to the hospital and then realized she'll have a bill from ER (copay or whatever) then got to thinking about how she was going to explain that she poked DCB too hard and the ER visit to her DH kwim?

My first thought was that she needed to explain the incident somehow where she isn't involved, someone needs to pay the bill etc and of course it can't be her.

I'm hoping she simply just figured pinning it on OP would make things easier for her not knowing that those were serious accusations she was making and that it would open up a huge can of worms.

If I could afford to I'd term, if not I'd find replacements soon.

I just had to laugh at this because I can imagine how ridiculous it is for you to listen to all of that/experience it in some way since you provide care! I know I would be all over the place.

Oh trust me....I've done so many 's over the years my brain has permanent dizzy spells. ::

That's so upsetting!!! Those poor kids! There was a provider here in Iowa, 25-30 years ago. She put them in cardboard boxes with crayons and left them in there all day. My mom now works with one of those children. She just had a little girl and won't put her in daycare because what she experienced. I don't blame her!

She's exactly why I started doing daycare! My friends all knew what happened and were worried, and when I had my next baby I just couldn't put him with someone else after what happened. I really trusted her and she was our provider for 7yrs at that point and watched all 4 of my kids. I really thought I knew this person, we even went on family trips together! Looking back I was young and naïve, too trusting and looked at her as more than a provider but a mentor.
