Horrible parent? Who went to take care of that 7 Stitched Chin? Mac's Mom, that's who.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am a horrible parent.
Yeah, no. Hope the scar isn't too icky. I never managed a chin one, but I sure know lots of adults that take pride in theirs.
I'm going to stop saying things can't get crazier and I can't get more outraged. Should not taunt the universe that way. Sure, things can get way crazier and more outrageous.
msbelle, did I miss where you knocked him off his skateboard? Because nope.
It's a definite Learning Experience. Hopefully one that teaches prudence.

Dreamt that my dad was using a forklift to pile cars around the house. Mom said a neighbor was threatening to ruin our business, and that was funny because this forklift stuff was just letting off steam, no one was paying for it. He finally stopped around dawn, said it had been fun.
Better than dreaming about spreadsheets, I guess.
Aw, poor Mac! I split my chin open swimming when I was about 10 or so. It wasn't fun.
I am a horrible parent.
Nope.
I am a horrible parent.
Nah. That's just normal stuff. I remember this one time I was talking with a pediatrician. He said that when he started he would secretly feel judgemental about the parents with some of the injuries that he say. Then he had a child and one day he had his child on his shoulders and walked him into a ceiling fan. He was never judgemental again.
It was more the wishing bad upon him for being an obstinate oppositional child and then him getting hurt. I know I did not will it into happening and I know I never wished actualphydical harm to him, but in the moment it sure felt like karma was saying "ok bitch, we got your bad energy right here.".
