Boo-boos and questioning....
A certain someone ( ) has something to say about every little mark that appears on Ryan....
He scratches himself all the time (ok-ok- Im so bad @ cutting his nails....) and now with him, walking, crawling, standing etc... he is getting into everything....
I spend all day with him... and ALWAYS have my eyes on him... but even with me sitting right there- playing toys with him, he'll bump himself....
Have the time... I never notice a mark... but hawk eyes notices everything and always questions it.
(IE: this morning he was trying to pull his hat off in the car, and I guess manages to scratch his forehead- I noticed nothing... but when we got inside- her 1st words were "what happened to his head"- I looked and said "what theres nothing there" she said look- theres a scratch "I was like I dont see anything..." later on brought him to work... no one saw anything there either 
Its just driving me insane... what answer does she want... "I beat my kid??"
He's a boy... and a very active one at that..... what does she want me to do.... (Ohhhh thats right-she feels he should only be allowed to play in a pack n play )
How do you all handles uninvited/ unwelcome questions???

Working in daycare- I know that NOTHING is taken with a grain of salt..... Since their @ss is on the line if anything ever surfaces... BUT that is a little extreme....
Whats driving me crazy as that- the kid has had a total of 2 (count em') 2 boo-boos his entire life(which were small and gone within 24hrs).... everything else she sees.... is non exsistant!

You dont even know what was said to me- when I told her that we might not make it this Friday- because my dad was going to be home.. and we were gonna be going to see him (It turns out he wont be home Friday- but still- the comments....so rude and unnecesary.... but Im not gonna bore you with all that drama)

Re: Boo-boos and questioning....
My mother does this all the time! "Oops...another scratch. How'd he get that one?" Honestly, the majority of them, he gets from his own fingernails. My own mother knows I wouldn't hurt my own child. I guess she's just commenting on them for the sake of saying something?

Yea- its just sooo annoying... How do you answer.... ???
Do you ignore it? Give a detailed explanation??
I mean if I dont see anything.... and he hasnt implies anything has happened... what the heck am I supposed to tell her?

I usually just say "Oh, I haven't had a chance to cut his nails, he must have scratched himself," and that's usually enough. If it's something bigger than a scratch I'll usually say "He was a little rough playing today and he bumped himself."

I would just say "He scratched himself - just like every other baby does." If she comments further maybe you could just say "You did raise your kids? You must know that these things happen."
eta. or you could go the sarcastic route & say "He scratched himself while I was beating him. Clearly those are defense wounds."

Re: Boo-boos and questioning....
I agree, my sarcastic mouth would have to say something Like, I must have scratched him when I was drunk, or when I was beating him, followed by c'mon you are so ridiculous
