[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 277338, member: 7416"] You are definitely not a horrible mother! We all make mistakes, and we are human. Thankfully, there was no danger or terrible consequences. Want to hear a funny one? I was caring for two little boys, 2 and 1. They had terrible behaviours.... very challenging, very stressful. If could go wrong before a contact visit with bio mum it, did, and if there was a social worker visit, double that. well, it was goingto Court this day for orders for longterm care, to me.... I was on standby to be a (good) witness. ..short version.... i noticed the cap off the panadol..... empty bottle..... 1 year old had sticky fingers... oh boy! Several hours later, with 2 year old and 6 month old in tow and a lovely neighbour we were up the hospital tryin to convince 1 year old that it was a GrEAT idea to eat charcoal with icecream.... Believe me, I had a migraine... I was told to go to general hospital in several hours to have special scan as drinking overdose of panadol was very serious. We went home, exhausted no less. Happened to casually go past the plant pot, and discover a pool of panadol around the plants....he hadn't drunk any of it! I felt like an awful mother. for leaving it handy. My reason, and it didn't usually happen, was that baby was very ill and needed panadol at frequent interval... i was sleep depraved etc. but no excuse would have been good enough for bio mum or social worker if something serious had transpired! So, we have all done it... none of us feel good about it.... and it will happen again to one of us.... we are all in God's grace and He won't send more problems than we can handle (though we wonder sometimes!) Have a great day.!! [/QUOTE]
