I was so lucky, my mother is living with us. She is the grandma-nanny of my 1 year old daughter. I am so happy because my mom is with me to guide me,being a new mother.
She chose to stay with me, though she also have 2 grand daughters to my old brother.
But, here comes the problem: Since i am working, my daughter is left with my mom. One time, i came home early 'coz my mom call me up, that my daughter's finger inserted in an electric fan, so it was wounded.In fact, my daughters nail was cut and wounded. I knew its my daughters fault, but she is just a kid...1 year old and needs careful attention. But since its an accident i don't feel mad.
Last week was the terrible experience. Again, my daughter met an accident. According to my mom, when my daughter was playing, she fell and her head bumped into the cemented flooring. The head was injured, had cut and had to be suture. Before my daughter was brought to the hospital, they waited for me...more than 1 hour. So, my daughter underwent skull x-ray, thanks to God...its ok. But its wound/cut had to be suture.My daughter was confined for observation.
When we went home, my mom felt so sad and had traumatic experience. But, i didn't tell her anthing that will hurt her,coz i know it was accident and unintentional. But my mom thought i was mad and upset. She left home and went to our family home. Right now, she didnt visit us. I am so sad too, but i dont want to risk the safety of my only daughter. Aside from that, my husband asked me to file for leave vacation to take care of my daughter. My feelings is confused...pls give me sound advise.
