their is a 16 year age gap between myself and my youngest brother who is 7 so iv always kind of had a third parent role with him rather than siblings. and I'm used to dealing with him coming home crying because he has hurt himself. but today he really scared me.
i was sitting brushing Echo and herd screaming and a voice crying "it hurts" at first i just herd the screaming and thought the kids were just messing about but it was getting closer to the house and sounded like Innes i jumped up and ran to the door thinking he was being attacked. just as i got to the door i saw a shape of a childed(I'm used to his palls coming to the door saying he has fallen or something)
i opened the door and their was Innes standing in front of me crying his face and hand covered in blood, i then saw he was carrying a skateboard which led me back to his head and i realized he had no helmet on (my mum has never let any of us on a bike or anything without a helmet) i didn't quite shout but i did raze my voice asking where was his helmet, well that just set him off worse as he realized he wasn't weiring it (how he forgot i will never know as he has never been out without it before)
oh i might add his dad was in the garden and my mum was at the hairdressers
so i got him into the bathroom quick, as their was lots of blood i didnt know what to look at first so i got his hand under the tap which revealed that he hadn't hurt his hand luckily. i then cleaned up his face fortunately the blood was all from his nose but he has grazed his nose top lip, bottom lip and chin. he even had blood in his mouth i think he knocked his teeth but hopefully hasn't damaged them as when i get him to rinse his mouth out no more blood came and everything looked OK.
innes is an over reacter so as i was cleaning him up he is scrawling "I'm dying" and the only response i had for him was "you are bloody lucky you are able to cry" as i had images of him lying on the ground with his head split open.
during all this commotion his dad didn't come in from the garden (adm,itedly we are used to innes coming in screaming because he has a skelf but still this sounded much worse and he was out side so would have heard it louder) he went and told his dad who then tried to call my mum (don't think i would have done this as i had sorted him out and it was nothing serious) so my mum came home in a blind panic (his dad gave her the pair minimum details)
anyway the best bit is he is going to his aunties wedding this Saturday, and is going to look stunning in the photos with his scabby nose, lips and chin.
but i have never been so angry and scared, only seen him with a bloody nose once before when someone kicked a foot ball and it bounced off the wall and hit him in the face.
I'm sure he has put me off having kids for life, even my mum admits if she had him first she would never have had myself or Haig.
