[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 5 year old kicking a 10 year old is not by itself "end the relationship" behavior.

Your GF's response may be "end the relationship" behavior.  Depends on the context.

You said your GF responded that kicks shouldn't break the toe/require crutches.  So the important question on which all of this turns:  Were crutches in fact required? Was the toe actually broken (or at least severely injured)?  Or did you already have crutches in the house, and you and your DS are making a big deal out of a run of the mill kid fight?  The way the OP wrote the first post makes me think this isn't as clear as others have assumed.....

This could have played out in one of two ways:

Scenario 1:  5 year old kicks DS, DS is in a lot of pain, goes to doctor, is diagnosed with badly bruised or sprained foot and is prescribed crutches because it is otherwise painful to walk on. OP accuses GF of having a monster for a 5 year old child, and GF gets defensive and (wrongly) claims the injury wasn't a big deal.

Scenario 2:  5 year old kicks DS, DS has a history of being a drama queen and makes a big deal about how he can barely get around, finds old crutches in the house and makes a huge deal about it.  OP accuses GF of having a monster for a 5 year old child, and GF says that OP needs to get a grip because the injury (rightly) wasn't a big deal, and GF is on the defensive because she doesn't like her kid being accused of being a monster when it was pretty typical kid stuff.

Scenario 1 means your GF was in the wrong. Scenario 2 means you and your DS are inflexible and drama queens.

I can't tell which one it is from the OP's post, but either seems believable.

OP here.  We went to urgent care.  They took x-rays, the pinky toe was broken, and they gave a foot boot and crutches.  [b]He also slammed his door on the foot a little before hand, but he says it's from the kicking and I tend to believe him[/b].  The kid is out of control.[/quote]

Ahhhh and the plot gets thicker.  You and your DS say the broken toe is from her kicking him.  Your GF and her DD say it is from the kicking the door ahead of time.  And it's impossible to prove who is right and wrong.

[b]I agree with others above that it seems hard to imagine a 5 year old girl kicking hard enough to break a toe. [/b] That said, not impossible.  Again, no one will ever know for sure how the toe was broken.

What we can tell is that you HATE this little girl.  And sounds like your GF thinks your DS is a whiny brat.  That's the only relevant info here.  Can you guys get over your dislike of each other's kids and move past this? [/quote]

NP here.  TBH, the angle would have to been pretty exact to break the small toe.[/quote]
