First and foremost, I apologise if this is the wrong room. I'd be happy to move if you guys don't think it fits here. Long story short, my son is incredibly accident prone. We live out in the country and he's constantly on the move. Recently, with the most recent accident, a few family members blew up. One told me that I should be in jail, and the other few just asked if I was concerned about CPS. The remaining family members laugh it off and just say that "he's a boy" and things happen. My son is 2.5.

First incident is a 2nd degree burn. I was making eggs in the kitchen for his breakfast and he was at the table. He started wandering around the kitchen and I pulled the pan off the burner to put the eggs on the plate and when I leaned over to scoop it, he slapped the burner. I did tell him repeatedly to sit down. This happened in a matter of seconds. Of course I freak out and he ends up with a million doctors appointments and PT. His hand is healed now.

Second incident is his foot was run over by a golf cart. My grandparents hotwired it and didn't tell me you have to press the break several times for it to stop. My son started walking up to the house and I hopped on the golf cart to meet him. I started going down hill and he started running towards me and I tried to break but finally got it working at the last minute. It was too late and it went over his foot. It brusied it but nothing else. It was healed in a day.

Third incident was another burn. My mom was supposed to be watching him while I curled my hair for a date. I was getting my makeup done by my sister and he snuck in without me hearing him and grabbed the iron full force. Burns but nothing too bad.

Fourth and most recent incident was nursemaids elbow and choice of sitter. We were in the store and he went to sit on the ground and I picked him up by the arm light heartedly. I said "whoop stand up baby." And he got nursemaids elbow. Which the doctor said is super common. I KNOW I am not supposed to grab his arm and I always grab under the arm pit. This time it was just so casual and quick I didn't think much of it. After the ER visit he was back to normal and it was my first day at my DREAM job. I'm in a financial bind and it was a god send of a job. My grandpa was supposed to watch him and got drunk (it was his birthday). I had no other choice of sitter, so I allowed my son to stay there for 30 minutes out of desperation until my boyfriend got there to pick him up. My grandpa wasn't acting crazy, they were just sitting down watching Moana.

Anyways, other than those huge incidents, I feel like I'm an adequate mother. I'm exceptionally patient, I practice very positive parenting. He eats healthy meals and we spend a lot of time as a family. We do library trips and other fun things. I don't ever go out and leave him. We are very attentive to him and he's an incredibly happy, clean, and fed toddler. He also typically goes to a private daycare with a great sitter who was one of many screened. But for some reason, my family, who is distant and doesn't see our family unit EVER but is solely going by hearing of the events above over the phone is now bringing CPS into the mix.

I don't think I'm neglectful. I think they were accidents and I've learned my lessons from each of them. But they were all very genuine accidents and he is bound to get hurt as a child. At the same time, recently I've been wondering if I'm actually abusive and they have a point.

What do you all think?
