OMG - what a nightmare!!!

[mum2two]

Well, afterschool today I sent DD (who's 6), and her friend who I mind (same age) upstairs to her room to watch a film, play ds etc, whilst I had the younger ones outside. Thought this would keep everyone happy - which it did.

Until, her friend had gone, & my friend called me. I walked upstairs to my room to discover my mycrogynom pill packet in a different place on my side table, with Sat & Sunday ones missing!!!

I ran downstairs & confronted dd who said it was her friend. Did not believe this, as didn't think her friend would do that. Wouldn't ever have put dd doing it, but thought she's a bit of a show off in her own house - so maybe...?

Anyway, friends mum knocked back on the door & dh answered whist I was questioning dd, and asked what they'd done. So I told her just in case...

She went & asked her daughter who said my dd had taken one, and the other was behind the drawers. DD still wouldn't admit it!

Eventually she did admit to taking one, and we found the other one. So I've text the mum to tell her her dd didn't take one!

How awful though! I just wish my dd would have told me the truth first, then I wouldn't have had to mention it to mum. Really worried what she thinks of me now.

They all know they're not allowed in our room - or upstairs without being told they can. The annoying thing too is there is a hook & eye to stop them going on that wasn't on today for some reason!!! WHY! Kids are definitely sent to test us - and annoy us!

Hopefully it won't start my 6 yr old off on her periods now!

oooops .... something to learn from for next time, hope mum is ok and not funny with you xxx

im sorry to here about this

we have the hook and eye catches on every door right at the top and only tall people can reach them

well worth a visit to the diy shop for them

I would document this for everyones safety and protection (a separate sheet in your journal) and I would also write down on the paper how you could avoid this in the future.

Its a live and learn situation.

I would go over house rules again with all the children.

did you find the missing pill?

Explain to the children that they do not touch tablets and if they find any they must give them to you - explain that they could be dangerous/harmful.

Thank goodness that everyone is ok thoughxxxxx

oh the little tinker!!!

Don't beat yourself up - its done now. I hope your friend isn't funny with you though that could be awkward.

DD knows not to take things. Haven't a clue why she did - except like I said for the fact of showing off...

She took one, and I found the other, so at least I know it wasn't anyone elses kids that took it!

Just don't know why the hook & eye wasn't locked on our door today! Arrrggghhhh - I'm so peed off with myself!

Mum was ok with me, She said 'Well they shouldn't have been in your room anyway!' Medication is NEVER left out, but my pills I have to have next to my bed or I forget to take them. I'm useless at remembering if it's not the first thing I see when I wake up. I put it off!

keep them by your bed

just put it down to a mishape and explain to your daughter the importance of not putting anything in her mouth she shouldnt

big hugs to you

[mum2two]

keep them by your bed

Just out of interest them, where does everyone else keep them? The mum mentioned said she has hers by her toothbrush? So still where kids could get them...

Being a good catholic girl I use abstinence.

[Pipsqueak]

Get the hubby to have a vascetomy!!!! No more pills!!!!

[Trouble]

i have been sterilised but i had the coil before that

i think i just put them on the windowsill but it was before kids

you could put them in your knicker draw as you have fresh ones everyday so you would see them

KIDS!! a few years back when my son was younger he was playing in his bedroom with my neighbours boy ( same age) when mum called to collect her son they came running downstairs with my tampax attached to their hair, how embarrased was i, i wanted the floor to open up and swallow me. They just said they found them in the bathroom and thought they looked like little mice.
Now they are stroppy teenagers and i can embarrase them with the stories of what they used to get up to

That's so funny! I'd have been so embarrased too. DD once got a sanitary towel & thought it was a big plaster!!!
