I'm am mega pissed off about a few things just now, and although this post is going to be public, the other thing will be private.
Today I took my girls to the local indoor play area. Just before their time was up Rachel came to tell me that Laura was hurt and crying so I went to find out what was wrong. She'd received a football in the face and her eye was really sore - bloodshot, swollen and she could hardly open the lid. I got an icepack and asked her what happened.
It turned out that one of the parents was kicking a ball around with his son in the ball area and she got the ball in her eye. She walked across and it hit her accidentally but she was really sore and he just let her walk off to find me instead of bringing her to me.
I went to ask him to be a bit more careful around the small people, and he absolutely refused to accept responsibility. All I asked was for him to say sorry and he hoped she was okay. But no - he got all defensive and blamed it all on her. ![]()
Just as well it was me speaking to him, and not Himself, or he would have had a black eye all of his very own.
What a waster. I hope your wee mite will mend quickly (and I suspect she will, being the trooper that she is). As for the 'adult' who doesn't know how to behave like one, I'm just sorry for the way his own kids may well turn out, with such an oafish example to follow.
