Mom guilt

My son keeps hurting himself on the head and some of the time it’s because I’m not paying close enough attention… today he fell off the bathroom counter because he was agitated and wasn’t careful… I hate myself for anything happening to him. He has a bump on his head and I can’t help but feel like I’m failing him…. He’s had so many head falls this poor baby. He’s 22 months. Just need to vent because I feel like a failure.

Girl, first of all. They should tell us that kids falling and getting hurt is parenting 101. My son is ALWAYS getting hit in the head, even when im right next to him watching him..it happens sooo fast. You are NOT failing, you are trying your best and you are enough. Accidents happens all the time and theres nothing we can do sometimes. All we can do is provide support and love to our little ones so they can go on and explore their new world. Sending you lots of hugs, i know its not easy. -from a mom who knew her kid was running with an open cup filled with water and knew he was going to trip and fall and it happened in less than -5 seconds and had no time for reaction.

Thank you so much for taking time to reply!! It’s just hard to not feel like a fail when it comes to his head. I had a lot of head injuries and concussions and they affect me in some ways so I guess I’m just not wanting him to be affected. But thank you again for the kind words ❤️!! We are all trying our best!

My son is constantly getting hurt, but he’s a climber and doesn’t sit still. He’s a tough kid though because of it and honestly he’s a boy 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m just thankful we haven’t ended up in the ER yet.
