Following from and in continuance to the recent spate of health related bloggings I got a call at work today from catty.
“Billy, the childminder phoned, she was at the toddler group with Ash and was dealing with one of the kids while Ash was strapped into her buggy when one of the other mums shouted her. A kid had climbed up onto Ash’s buggy and bit her on the head. Just phoning you so you don’t get a shock when you pick her up. I don’t know how bad the bites are…”

Now, to understand how this made me rage you need to get this. Ashley is possibly the single happiest child ever seen. She is constantly smiling, I mean constantly. If she sees you you are greeted with a huge beaming grin! It’s very charismatic. She is always so happy. [/Doting Dad]

Anyhow, I’m not angry with the childminder, these things happen when you have kids in your care. I have four kids of my own and I know how easy it is for slips to happen. I’m not really angry with the kid either. It’s the kids parents/carers who are to blame for not letting their little bastard learn right from wrong. The phrase “he’s done that to his cousin before” was uttered. *Calming thoughts*

Anyhow, shock at this….

That’s some assault dont ya think? She’s so happy and trusting to see a kid coming to “play” would have made her excited. Then he did that. Little git. Still, Ash seems to have slept it off and is just as happy this evening.

Thing is, only last week she fell against the tiled hearth and had one god almighty bruise on her napper. Got x-rays taken and everything. I gained ten years. Now she has these head wounds. If we were to get a visit from social services we’d no doubt be placed on some order or other!

Poor kid, still, what doesn’t kill you…
