Child Abuse?
Child, Parenting, Toddler July 27th, 2008
My boy isn’t very happy.
Did I scold him? Nope!
Did I beat him? Nope!
Did I punish him? Nope!
Let’s take a closer look……
My easily-prone-to-accident-3-year-old had a fall on the steps yesterday. No, no, no….not the drama type, where he rolls down the steps…no…no…
He missed a step while he was going up the stairs and semi-glided himself down a couple of steps, with his shin hitting against the edges. SUPER OUCH!
The one on the top of the knee is already 3 days old, got it after a fight with Keatkeat.
Now he conveniently uses this particular bruise to remind his big brother of his less-love towards himself. – What a perfect excuse to get his big bro to give-in to him more than usual for the past few days. *Sigh*
To make things worse, he hurt his eyes last night when he was keeping the toys. The edge of a car-transporter hit the bottom of his eye.
It was so close!
Just 2mm away from his eye ball!
If only, if only, it was 2mm nearer! Oh My! I can’t imagine.
Now my boy has an ‘eye bag’ and its red! Yes, it swelled! Ouch!
Bruises like these can really be misleading! ‘Cos when I was at my parents-in-law house today (its sunday, remember?), my MIL thought I ‘abused’ my little Binbin! *Urrrrghhhh*

I am sorry about your MIL accusing you of abusing your son. Most children hurt themselves often.

Oh no.. I hope he’s not hurting much! Don’t worry, Angeline.. anyone who knows you at all will not think of you as an abuser.
Last time, my son had a “BITING” phase and I always end up victim to his bites and were bruised all over my arms. When I went to work, my colleague pulled me aside and let me know that if there’s any problems, she will help. LOL! She thought it was the case of domestic violence.
My hubby was so scared after that! Especially since he always has that “unsmiling” look. LOL!

Poor little guy. Kids at that age can be pretty destructive… It’s part of growing up.
