Caitlyn was trying to help my mom iron when she was about 2-3.

Mom missed her by a hair as she placed her open hand on the hot iron.

I heard both of them shriek and about lost my stuff.

Spent the evening in the ER.

You ever see a toddler tripping on demirol?

It was horrific.

I have a picture of her with her hand bandaged up.
Ouch!!!
I'm glad she healed up ok.

What's funny is, when I was about that age I grabbed the hot exhaust muffler of the lawn mower or motorcycle. One of them.

There is a picture of me with my hand bandaged up too.

My SS went through a phase where he was nuts about fire and hot things. He messed with a candle at one point and spilled hot wax down DH's leg and got his azz busted. One of the few times I've seen DH go after him. Another time he touched the burner on the stove even after we had told him not to a million times. He had a little tiny blister. Then lastly he just HAD to see how hot the coffee was when it came out from the Keurig and stuck his finger under the stream. Not hot enough to leave a blister but hot enough that when he stuck his finger in it his finger stayed red for about three days.
Stubborn kid!
How long did it take him to stop having to touch hot things?

The coffee pot was the last thing he touched. But he was plenty old enough to know. I think seven when he touched the coffee pot. Dumb kid.

I still burn myself some times.

Ever see a burn from a hot melt glue pot?

That can be a terrible burn.

A guy at work one night stumbled and fell and his hand went into the vat.

That was horrible.

When I was probably around 4, I was too impatient to wait for my mom to get my noodles out of the microwave. I had a second degree burn covering my chest. I don't think there's any pics of it though.

Nope I haven't. But, I've burned myself on my hot glue gun before.

I'd rather have a burn than a paper cut though.

It looks something like this.

The glue can get hot enough to melt plastic.

If you get it on you, the first thing you want to do if rub it off.

But it's better if you dont.

Gah! Kids and hot stuff! Always a nightmare.

Yesterday, I barely saved the three year old from touching my very hot iron.

And it's not just kids.... I grabbed a dish out of the oven before I grabbed a pot holder a few weeks ago.

Can we change the subject now? I'm going to have nightmares tonight..

Chef, it happens to pretty much all kids. We can't wrap them in bubble wrap.

Why? Does it take the skin with it if you try to rub it off? Or?

If you get hot glue on your hand and try to rub it off it usually is the equivalent of rubbing a searing hot gel down your finger. Then the burn spreads. It's best to just curse really loudly, wait for it to cool off, and then remove it along with the layers of skin you have just singed.

We are getting the morning kisses and hugs, since DD started working full time. We go over to get the kids up when she leaves. I love those smooches.

Last night, DS discovered that Mommy doesn't say "it's hot, don't touch" for her health. DH was pulling the chicken out of the oven and DS flew into the kitchen to help push the rack back in. I yelled NO! and DH's name because I knew I wouldn't make it in time. DH missed grabbing him by a split second. DS has a blister on the palm of his hand. Poor kid but he's given the oven a wide berth ever since.

I know it's neither of our faults and I know DS will be ok. We're keeping his hand doctored.

This is actually good. He learned a valuable lesson for a minor hurt instead of a disastrous one.

My hell month is almost over. I think a bit of work over the w/e will finish it up. So far keeping up with the deadlines. I told my boss today I have ideas for streamlining the processess. The amount of redundancy we deal with is insane. I think most people have been doing the job so long they don't see how inefficient the processes are.

It's not the ex. We DO get along. It's her mother. We have NEVER had SS on Halloween before. Granted Halloween is not a major holiday. I get that. He's almost 11 but we've NEVER had him. Not once. DH is home and asked his ex if we could have him for the first time. She said yes that was fine. So we planned a big family thing. Both DN and Sparkly are off and are coming over. We had it PLANNED. It wasn't spur of the moment. So then SS tells me that his grandma tells him that he gets to go where HE wants. Not where his dad wants. Well, his mom and dad agreed he'd come here. When grandma found out she hit the roof. There's three family birthdays this month and she purposely planned them on Halloween night. So mom asked if we'd reconsider. Her mom is very upset and crying. Well, you shouldn't have banked on getting your way. Now we're in the middle. We always give in but I just don't think it's fair that we 1. Always give in. And 2. Have never had him even once on Halloween. Grandma didn't plan the party until AFTER she was told we were getting him. So now she's guilt tripping his mom.

Lindley · Guru

I hope ss mother stands firm against her mother. She sounds vindictive.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

And she keeps texting DH with little things like Hope you're happy that my mom is at home crying. You're pretty heartless to make an 80 year old woman cry. Hope this is worth destroying her happiness over. Whatever.

Grandma is. SS's mom is not. She's fine. We parent very very differently but have learned to cope with each others parenting styles. Grandma likes to play games. She has repeatedly told SS his dad has no say in his life. She also tells him that he has the right to decide where to go and what to do. Um, no. He's ten. There's some things a ten year old doesn't decide. This is one of them.

If his grandma had made it clear that she had a huge party planned before we agreed to all this we would have said fine. But the birthday party magically appeared after it was made known he was going to be with us. And who in their right mind plans a birthday party for ADULTS on Halloween night and says all the little kids in the family have to be there?
