Has anyone ever been playing with their kid and the kid, not on purpose, does something that hurts you? If so, what?

Last night, Shadrach and I were playing. He sat up all of a sudden and broke my nose. I have been having nose bleeds all day from the little rascals hard head. I mean, when it hit, my hubby could hear it crack, and him with hearing loss, all the way across the room. It is very sore today. I know that he didn't mean to, but I started crying because it hurt so bad. But, naturally, I was more concerned with him. He got down off my lap, looked at me crying as if to say "What are you crying for?" Then he grinned real big at me and ran away expecting me to chase him. I am not sure how it did not hurt his head.

The kid did the same thing to my dad one time. It did not hit his nose, but he hit the cheek bone. My dad, an ex marine, said that he was seeing stars for quite some time afterwards. You could hear that across the room too. He just got down, once again and started to run away, expecting him to chase him.

It always scares me when he does that. I am worried that he is going to knock himself out one of these days. But he seems to be unaffected. And he has the most incredible pain tolerence for a kid his age. My grandma, who raised 8 kids said that it is just that he is 100% boy and that they are rough and tough like that. But it still worries me.

Lol reminds me of one if my nephews-he has such a hard head. If he ever fell and bumped his head the response would be 'is the floor broken!'

I'm sure he'll be fine. Hope you're ok though

I've had my front teeth both root canalled since I've had kids. I'm pretty sure it's from all the bonks in the face that I've taken.

Kids are so resilient. We've had our fair of stitches, broken bones and they're still up and running.

Oh yeah, my son has done the nose-bashing thing to me too. Ohhh that hurts!

Then another time we were in Galveston Texas walking on the beach. I was walking backwards and he darted right behind my legs and tripped me. I fell directly onto my tailbone and almost passed out from the pain. I'd heard a loud SNAP when I landed. The sand was wet and hard. There were stars and fireworks before my eyes and I had to lie there for about 10 minutes before I could even attempt to get back up.

I don't know how he does it. I mean, I know that kids are resiliant. But when Shad hurt his ribs a few weeks ago from falling out of a high chair, we were worried about him and long story short. we took him to Childrens Hospital. They tol us that he had the highest pain tolerence of any other kid that they have ever seen come through those ER doors in years and years. Of course he had a rough start to life, but they said that kids in general have high pain tolerences.
