I here I was thinking we were dicing with death. Are you taking your arnica, hon? And if there's fluid on your knee you need ledum for that. You can come get some from me if you want. Ouchies!

Hope that is the end of the accident prone experiences. But don't you get stronger with dealing with sudden accidents where blood comes rushing out of various orifices? After the initial ugghh I get a kinda ER buzz. I think you know yourself when it's serious with your child and when it's a DIY bandage and hug. I'll shake your hand electronically...

I think it's better to be at home than in some fluorescent waiting room bleeding to death and twiddling your thumbs for four hours catching God knows what. Nick; Death by blogging. Real melon twister, isn't it? Electrocution by coffee spillage? Heart attack from over-exertive swinging on office chairs? Beats me. Brianf; Aww bless. Laughter's the best cure, as is toughing it out for yourself. My mother used to tell me that pain was all in the head (which is true o' course) but I'd reply with NO IT'S IN MY FUCKING FOOT at which point she'd belt me and then I really would have a pain in the head. Baino; Ahh you can't beat a bit of Hypericum/Calendula for the messy bits and a dose of Arnica for the purple bits. After that it's lollypop city and you're home dry!

I can recall the phone calls and my reaction of, "Is it life threatening? No? Good, I'll pick him up at the end of the day.". My dad use to look at a scrape or cut and tell us, "That looks bad. We'll have to amputate at the neck". We knew it was a joke and meant our boo-boo wasn't bad. How did the human race make it this far without lawyers and overly protective moms?

They must have invented the phrase "An accident waiting to happen". Two people died of blogging? How on earth did they manage that? Did a giant hand reach out of the screen and strangle them? Funny you should mention CBeebies, I just did something about the ludicrous Cerrie Burnell arm uproar. Hey, guys, her arm isn't all there, get over it etc....

Bah, I say. It's just a matter of employing some common sense and not swinging to extremes. I'll give a rousing cheer to any parent who does the same. Sure it's not easy but who ever said being a parent is easy? “I feel I might slot too quickly into that category…”

I feel I might slot too quickly into that category which can be equally but oppositely as bad. 'At the drop of a kid'... *chortle* Slow down there partner… there’s such a thing as being TOO relaxed about parenting… I feel I might slot too quickly into that category which can be equally but oppositely as bad.

‘At the drop of a kid’… *chortle*

I have to agree with Elly, one of the biggest problems today is that too many parents coddle their kids. This "time out" generation of parenting has caused nothing but problems and the results have been plain to see. Undisciplined kids, suing at the drop of a hat (or kid in this case) and don't even get me started. You're a shining beacon of sensibility in this dark age of idiot parenting.
