[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I first read the thread, I thought no, I would have done exactly what that mom did. However, upon pondering it for a bit, I do think I would call. It wouldn't be a panicky call, just a factual call, "X" fell off the zipline and got hurt, but as far as we can tell it's nothing serious and they asked to go back and play. Is there anything else you want us to do or just let them have fun?

My main reason for doing that would be to one, not seem like I am trying to cover up anything that happened. Two, give the parent a chance to make a decision and make them feel comfortable that we will respect their wishes on how to handle it. Three, you never know each and every kids medical situation and something that seems innocuous and routine to you and even the child, may have larger consequences.

9 is still young. The flippant " ... we've got it (now leave...),  and ...oh by the way, your DC got hurt, but we didn't call... oh well" that would worry me because thee is such a lack of respect. I would question whether they ever looked up from their drinks, or just kept on snap chatting.[/quote]

I didn't read the mothers response as flippant at all.

There was a gaggle of mommies around. You know they all rushed at OP' daughter like a pack of mother hens. And I'm sure each and everyone of them has had their share of Fall/ Bruise duty.[/quote]
Actually, really, I do not know any such thing. And neither do you. Judging from the DD response she was in pain and they said oh sh**t we weren't paying attention now what[/quote]
