Am I a horrible parent? Has this happened to anybody else?

A lot of of the times this leads to me tripping them accidentally, knee checking my toddler in the face,or even Tripping over them. I feel absolutely horrible as a parent when this happens. Have other parents done this?

This is a serious problem. Could be due to inattention caused by severe distress.

That’s a you thing. There is nothing wrong what that, OP. Another crazy self righteous poster.

It's like you've never been around a toddler or small child before...

Kiddos doggos all same-os. Too precious. Littles is even worse. This is the US. Kids, children, son, daughter, offspring.

Yes of course. Not often but it happens. Not kneeing them in the face though (?).

But yes I sometimes bump into my kids because they like to be right next to me. So if I turn around and they’re literally right behind me, I might bump into them. I just give them a little kiss on their head and say oops sorry.

Kids learn about personal space over time.

Are you ADHD?

OP you already asked about this- last year but not that long ago. I'd search but if your title from the last post is as stupidly vague, I'll never find it. Anyone else remember?

of course this happens to everyone. some kids are so stupid, like my youngest. people have tripped over their kids and fallen on top of them. some toddlers need to be yelled at and tripped on a couple of times before they learn not to run around an adult's legs while the adult is walking. they will be fine. the adult is actually more likely to get injured.

This is what kids do. You all travel around the house like conjoined twins. They follow you to the bathroom, they hang on you even if it’s 90 degrees out. Give them a few years and they will be hiding in their room all day.

Yes, some kids are especially bad about this. One of mine was when younger. They typically outgrow it.

I remember the original thread because of how asinine I thought it was at the time. Sorry to hear you're still struggling, OP. Maybe get a bell for your child to increase your awareness? You need help.
