Reply to comment by Safe_Fast_Hella in TIFU by letting a disabled child fall on his head by alexandergunther

Yeah I know the parents' reaction is understandable. They're very protective of him and rightfully so; they have cameras in the house because of the horror stories they've heard of home nurses, including a friend of theirs whose kid was abused pretty badly by one. tbh I wish a camera had been on me at the time so that this situation would've been completely clear.

​

I just can't get over that the dad asked me if the kid had rolled knowing full well the kid can't roll. That's what gets me. It seemed like a disingenuous question.

Maybe the parents are trying to cover any base in case there is an investigation at the school, or if they need to know for insurance purposes (Not sure if that's relevant in your case)

From how you write it sounds like you genuinely care about the kid and were not negligent so I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine

I care very deeply about this kid. I would've understood and moved on if the parents decided to drop me as their nurse; I would've never been able to live with myself if something serious had happened.

Maybe I'm reading into it too much. If they truly didn't trust me then they would've dropped me as their nurse. It's just gonna take some time to get past this I guess.

You've got this! Sounds like you've got the compassion to be an excellent nurse <3
