I need to ring Parentline!

nevermind bl**dy childline!
2 daughters (15 & 17) came to blows last week, it was pathetic & over clothes pinching etc.. so I gets in the middle pushing them apart & copped full blows. I got a huge bruise on my right arm & that evening kept getting pains in my chest like I'd pulled something. Over the last week the pain has spread right under my arm to my back & yesterday it was so bad I couldn't change gear in the car without yelping in pain. Couldn't get a Dr appointment so hub took me to A & E today where we spent 2 hours waiting to be told I have cracked my rib & pulled muscle under my arm!
So got lots of nice pain killers now (still no help with the housework though!)

Not a sorry mum or anything so I want to report them for cruelty to mother - and if they decide to fight again, I'm staying well out of the way!

Bless your heart. Hope you feel better soon and next time, let them throttle each other! Big hugs xx

Oh no poor you ! You must have the patience of a saint cos i would of killed em, lol
I hope they are looking after you now!

Thankyou - haven't seen much of them since as one has gone to stay at her dads & the other at her boyfriends. I think they are arguing by text now!!They just turn up every few days with washing, which I've washed but no way am I ironing it!
Hubby's bought me chocolate & some magazines for tonight as he's working & told me to relax so I'm going to milk it for as long as possible! ( I think he feels guilty because he's watched me do loads of gardening & I haven't stop whinging about the pain!!)It really does hurt though when I laugh (though this isn't often!) cough, brush my hair & I can't throw the ball for Tilly so she's upset!!

Having brought up 3 enormous boys I very soon learned that it`s best to keep your distance and hurl things.
Books are good. Dinner is not due to the cleaning factor.

Mine wouldn't dare throw dinner (I don't think!) but I have been known to lob a dinner across the room in the past myself! I've even thrown a 3 drawer bedside cabinet across a room once (and it was full!) I think daughter was trying to trash her room by knocking the bin over - I was so wound up I said if your going to trash it do it properly & chucked it - no idea where I got the strength from & I'm not a violent person honest.
Boy do they wind me up though - it's comforting to know I'm not the only one with spawn of the devil

I once threw a book so hard it made a hole in the wall. Unfortunately we were staying at a friends` house so I had to go and confess.
In mitigation - I wasn`t aiming at the child!

must have been a hardback!! We don't have many books here - only trashy magazines

Oooooooo healing vibes coming your way xxxx

I hope your daughters feel suitably ashamed of themselves, putting you in A&E.

Don't talk to me about daughters as mine is an only child she only has me to argue with, and she does! No violence though (other than verbal), she wouldn't dare!

I hope you feel better soon.
