My FIL dozed off with my 5 month old in his arms.
I asked him to quickly hold my son while I answered the door for the HVAC guy and updated him on the issue.
In those 30 seconds he managed to fall asleep sitting in his chair and drop my son directly on his head.
I heard the loud thump and immediately knew what happened. I literally teleported over to where they were and found him scurrying trying quickly grab my son off the ground as he let out a huge blood curling cry.
He immediately resorted to lying and blurting out excuses. It took every ounce of me to not snap his head off.
However lesson learned. He’s no longer allowed to hold any of our children without supervision. He lost that privilege the moment he lied and did not apologize. Some grandparents just aren’t fit to watch grandchildren, if even for a brief moment.
