I feel like a bad parent 😞😥

So I have been doing laundry. I was currently on the couch folding some clothes and my two children where in the laundry room playing the drums, because that's where the drums are and I very seldom let them play on the drums. Well I hear my daughter start to cry and at first it was a simple cry so I got up to see what it was and then it became a very loud cry that I know is her painful cry So I took off running. When I got in there she had crawled between the washer and dryer. I had no clue she could fit in such a small gap. But she was stuck between them and the dryer began to burn her due to it being on and drying colothes. I feel like I should have been watching them and never let her out my sight but it's hard now that she is crawling and she follows her brother.. The burns are not too bad but bad enough to me..

It happens! Dont beat yourself up about it. My daughter rolled off the couch when she was a baby. I felt like the worst person ever! I would probably put neosporin or something on the burns though.

It's OK, kids will do things to themselves and we (unfortunately) can't wrap them in bubble wrap, it doesn't make you a bad parent since there's no way to have predicted she'd squish herself between the washer and dryer.If you don't have any, you can probably find some burn aloe at your grocery store, and it'll help her heal up quicker. Hope she feels better soon, and you too. :-)
