Bad parenting...

It would appear that for the last two weeks when I thought the eldest was moaning as her muscles hurt her, was in fact she had a splinter in her foot and that is what is stopping her from running around and enjoying life to the full.

I assumed (wrongly) it had managed to come out on its own after I attempted to get it out and failed. After all it has not been mentioned.

After baths tonight I had screaming wailing (edited as I had a whale there - DERR housewife brain...) as she thought I was going to attempt to get it out with a pin and tweezers (well it worked with my own....). So tomorrow I have to phone the doctors and hope that I am not put on the register for neglecting this splinter and laming my child.

Mmm best make sure she has clean socks...

Reminds me of a time when S was complaining about something and I ignored her moans. When the pus started running out both her ears (a week or so later), I took her to the doctors and was given 2 weeks of anti-bs.. 2 weeks worth! I felt a little crap after that...quickly wore off!
