[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was invited to a Last Day of School Water Party at a neighbors house this afternoon. I had never been to this home before but I had met the Mom before. I drove DC there, went in the back yard to say Hi to the Mom and saw there were plenty of Moms seated there but asked if she wanted me to stay[b].."Oh No we are just fine but thanks for bringing DC."[/b]
I saw a wooden play structure in the shade, lots of water, reviewed with DC she was to call me if she wanted to come home, otherwise I would pick her up in 1.25 hours.

When I went to pick DC up, the Mom greeted me with [b]"DC X fell off the zip line and hurt her back. I think it scared her more than anything else. I asked her if she wanted me to call her Mom and she said No. She cried for a little bit and then was OK."[/b]
Of course she said NO. She was embarrassed to have fallen in front of her friends and she didn't want to be perceived as a baby. She had no red marks or bruises but she was very grumpy, whiny and took a 2 hours nap-something she has not done since she was a baby. She is 9 now.

If a child was hurt at your house wouldn't you have called the Mom?

I would have been there in 3 minutes. I think she is OK but it maddens me I was not called right away. [b]It happened about half hour into the "party". She said she was bored, said it was too hot and that she never wants to go back there again.[/b]
I've given her some pain reliever but she is still miserable. She Did not hit her head, just her back.[/quote]

When you put it all together it sounds a bit bitchy to me. They could have picked up the phone but they really don't care -- those off hand diagnoses worry me a bit b/c that is what they always say when they have no idea what really happened. I would not be in a rush to leave my DC with these moms again.[/quote]
