So just what you read happened. I was with my newborn feeding him to sleep in our bedroom at 11 am when we heard him cry maybe two times so I told my husband to go downstairs and then he came up as I was finishing with the newborn… the maids we have talk spanish and my husband is barely now starting to learn spanish. He says he didnt know what was going on so he came to tell me. Well I went down there and I had the same experience as my husband until I went to grab my baby boy( he is 19 months old) and they explained to me (trying to downplay it it seemed) that he had grabbed a hot spoon that they left on the counter. Mind you the maid was cooking and the babysitter was in there with my baby boy… I freaked out of course and then when I seen the burn I started crying it looked really bad I haven’t even burned myself like that I was hysterical after. And of course came up and we finally calmed him down a bit and now we put medicine on it and everything. I wonder how long it will take to heal but I am so heartbroken by this. And I just cannot believe the babysitter would be In the kitchen WITH THE BABY while the other one is cooking and frying potatoes. Like is this not common sense? I am just in disbelief and I pretty much can’t stop crying about what has happened. I dont think the babysitter should work anymore as I don’t think she is capable of taking care of him after something like this and I just dont trust her. I mean its one thing if he wouldve fallen outside maybe but burning his hand as bad as he did she must have just not been paying attention to him at all and thats all I ask from her all eyes on him 24/7 when shes here. Thoughts on this? Please keep my baby boy in your thoughts, I just want him to be pain free and I wish this would’ve happened to me instead and I wish I could just take care of him but right now I cant. It is so hard with my newborn needing me constantly :( i am just so sad

Update: so thank God my baby boy is okay. His fingers do not look good at all, and I have came to realize that neither one or the other know what he really touched in the kitchen, it was in the stove area where there was open flame rice cooking… so its pretty obvious with his wound… we are putting lots of Neosporin on it, and keeping it clean.. its just horrible experience for him to go through this pain so little… but it was an accident and we have all learned from it.

I have also noticed it has made lots of mothers mad about the fact that I have help with my toddler. Its pretty fucking weird that’s pretty much all I gotta say lol 🥴
