From what I could understand, BM let SD3 hold her new baby. As in, standing up "Bring me the baby" holding. Not the normal "Sit down and hold your sister".
SD3, being a three year old, dropped the baby. BM called DH freaking out. She's already called an ambulance. She wants him to pick up SD3.

I have no idea what is going on other than that.

OMG! OF course a 3 yr old dropped a baby! They can't even hold onto sippy cups 1/2 the time!

I just hope baby is ok and BM doesn't take things out on your SD

Seriously, what kind of an idiot lets a 3 year old "bring" the baby ANYWHERE????

I really hope the baby is ok, and SD. How traumatizing that must be for her as well. Sad

Mother of The Year! Hope the baby is okay! And again, that she doesn't take it out on her TODDLER!

Update: We've got SD for the night. I'm ready to wring BM's neck. I don't know if the father has been informed.

Update: DH just got to the hospital. Baby has a concussion at the very least... Baby was born on the 7th.

BM is calm. She says she's sure that it'll just be an in and out thing. What. An. Idiot.

If what BM is saying is true, this is just as asinine as when my sister used to leave her kids in the care of my seriously, chronically ill grandparents who were both homebound (they all lived in the same house).

Instead of feeding my one niece, who is now three, and putting her down for a nap herself when she was a baby, my sister would pawn her off on my grandma knowing that my grandma was very ill and would slip in and out of wakefulness. Well, one day, the baby slid off of my grandmother's lap when they were BOTH asleep and hit her head on the floor. And my sister FLIPPED OUT ON MY GRANDMA. "You can never feed her again, you lost your privilege of holding her, blahblahblah".

Never mind the fact that about a year earlier, when my sister only had two kids and her husband had left her temporarily, DFYS told my sister that she was not allowed to leave her kids in the care of my grandparents as, at that time, they were incapable of handling two toddlers and properly caring for them, even though they were in better health then than when the baby was dropped, as it was considered neglectful. Long story short about why DFYS was involved, my mom and my sister got into a physical fight in front of the kids - yea, my family sucks - because my sister was milking her 'sadness' over her husband leaving her and doing virtually nothing. Because of the violence, DFYS got called in to check on the situation in the home. They found out my sister would leave the kids with my grandparents and go shopping, go out drinking with friends, whatever and they told her that she couldn't do that anymore.

I'm curious how BM might explain it to the people at the hospital.

But, I am more concerned over the baby AND your SD right now.

Update: (This will be the last one until this evening, my two have a doctor's appointment.) DH has SD. He is making a point to tell SOMEONE there that BM is mentally unstable.

Water on the brain magically disappeared and reappeared twice during BM's pregnancy... It disappeared again when she was born. I have the feeling BM was trying to get attention.

I barely let my dd12 stand up with my three month old. She asks to hold her in publics nd I tell her no because if something were to accidentally happen and the baby got hurt the my dd12 would also hurt.

Oh good lord the BM is an idiot! I wouldn't even let my SD, who was 10 when my DD was born, pick up DD by herself! If she wanted to hold her I had her sit on the sofa and I or DH would hand DD to her. I couldn't imagine telling a 10 year old to bring me the baby, much less a 3 year old! WTF?

Hope the baby is ok and BM finds some common sense. What a jackass!

Wow...just wow. This BM is either or stupid or one sick person, maybe both. Maybe CPS should be notified? Obviously neither child is safe in her care. Pure negligence!
