If it makes you feel any better, DS2 accidentally fell off DS1's bed yesterday. I plonked him near DS1 when I woke DS1 up - DS2 was well away from the edge. Yet I turned my back to open the curtains and in five seconds, bam ... onto the floor. He suddenly decided to become mobile - he must've commando rolled his way to the edge though, it happened that quickly. Thankfully he fell on carpet and thankfully he didnt fall far. But good glory I felt awful, and DS2 cried for a couple of minutes. Fortunately, and thank my lucky stars, he was perfectly fine afterwards. He could have been seriously injured . But I don't think I'm a bad mum. I do think I was stupid and I do know I'll never do it again.

You may be pleased to know I'm actually quite careful and non-clumsy with my children. Or at least I was, till yesterday. So the way I see it, a bed fall trumps a little face dunk in mummy poker . Don't hate yourself hun, these (fortunately) harmless accidents happen to remind us not to let it happen again.

ETA: Nelle, looks like it's you against me in the next round of mummy poker ...
