I am livid and I feel like the worst mom in the world!
I went to family dollar and while I was shopping I reached down to grab some stuff on the bottom shelf, at the same time my 3 yr old decided he wanted to hang on to the side of the cart and the cart started to tip over so I tried grabbing my 2month olds seat and I slowed it down enough to where he didn't hit the ground hard and it landed upside down the handle was up and he was strapped in so he didn't hit anything I think it scared him more than anything my 3 yr old hit his butt and his head so I am on the ground not knowing which kid needed my help more and I was there for awhile the manager walks past us looks at me and then walks in the back and started shutting some lights off I am furious she didn't ask if I needed help she was just worried about getting out of there on time!
I took my son up to my moms work(she is a nurse) and my FNP was still there so she looked at both the boys and they are fine but I am sooo mad I know its my fault I should have kept my hands on the cart the whole time and the seat doesn't fit in the big part of the cart! I feel absolutely awful and I keep randomly bawling!
ACCIDENTS happen mama. When ya have kids they are gonna happen alot. Your not a horrible mom. And you cant be there 24/7 and have 8 million eyes sometimes things are going to happen.

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

ooh that must have been scary for all of you, accidents do happen. Sometimes I feel like my 11 month old wants to break her neck haha. As far as the manager, umm you should contact the district office about that. Go on their website. She can lose her job because if you lo did get hurt she is supposed to file an accident report, or at least ask how you are doing. Sorry that's my retail manager kicking in haha
It was just an accident!I would of told the manager your children were hurt,she didnt know if you planned on suing,she could be in alot of trouble!
Dollar tree/family dollar is a horrible place to take kids 1 because thier carts suck 2 because the kids want it all and are grabby,had your toddler been walking he might of ran off.Its hard having 2 kids,gotta do what ya gotta do!
The kids are fine...not the worst mom in the world!!
I would be pissed too about someone just walking past when that shit was happening and not even asking if everything was okay!!
Shit happens...you did the best you could in the situation you were in...can't ask for anything more, momma!!
Im sorry that happened sweetie but your not a bad mother if you were a bad mother you wouldnt care so much. Accidents happen all the time.

you are not a bad mom. heck my son is trying to learn to walk he is skipping the crawling stage and he has fallen down so many times. he has also rolled off the couch a couple of time and smacked his head pretty good getting a nice goose egg. talk about feeling like a bad mom. i know your pain. the most important thing is that both boys are ok so that is a good thing:)
You are not the worst mom in the world!!
When my middle daughter was about nine months old (I think), we were at MIL's and had just gotten out of the pool. I had her in my arms (thinking I had her older sister who was 21 months), I sat her down on the table outside. I turned around to look for the towel to dry her off. I had my back turned for maybe 5 seconds. I hear a thump and her screaming! She fell off the table onto the concrete patio. Scared the shit out of me. I picked up and was holding her, trying to console her, not sure who was crying more, me or her.
My mom worked at an urgent care, so we drove over there. I sat in the backseat with her making sure she stayed awake and a nurse came over and looked at her really quick. There was a doctor standing back a bit (since if he looks at her it has to be documented and all) and they said they thought she would be fine, just had a scratch.
It will be okay I promise!
It was an accident. Your kids are fine. You are not a bad momma, or the worst momma. And that manager acted like a jerk. Cheer up and go kiss and hug your babies.
when my son was about 2 months old we went to my friends salon and my son feel asleep. i put him back in his car seat and zipped up the cover to block the wind. i left a little while later and went to the grocery store and took him out and unzipped the cover and i hadn't buckled him in. i felt terrible and like the worst mother in the world. i tripled checked from now on. we all make mistakes. you are not a bad mother. i would definitely be pissed off at the manager though. that was f*ed up of her.
