Momma Told You So!

I might sound like a bad Mom at the end of this little story but do know that I love my children and I do love on them and care for their wounds.  Well anyway you will see what I am talking about.  

So everyday parents tell there kids don't do this don't do that.  They think we are telling them just for the fun of it but in all reality we are telling them for their safety.  

RIGHT?

Well today my children were in the bathroom brushing their teeth getting ready for bed.  I was in the living room, reading.

All of a sudden I hear a huge thud and immediately crying afterward.  Madi comes running and screaming for Me to go help Payton.  

I am already up and running, trying to figure out what is going on.  Apparently she was standing on the edge of the tub and slipped and fell backwards, hitting her head on the edge of the tub.  

I scooped her up and loved on her, checked her out and got her some ice for the huge bump on the back of her head.  

After we calmed her down and took care of her, made sure there wasn't a concussion, we snuggled on the couch.

(This is where I might not be "a good mom")

In my head I'm thinking.  I told you over and over again don't stand on the tub.  They are so slippery.  Why won't you listen to me.  I don't feel bad for you when you get hurt because you didn't heed my warnings.  Maybe now you will listen to what I say.  Mom told you so.

I never said any of it out loud.  Just thought it.  I continued to snuggle on her and love on her and made sure that she is OK!

Does anyone else think, "Momma told you so?"
