[mama-2-3]

This morning was the last straw. My 3 year old son was stabbed in the face with a pencil with such tremendous force that lead was imbedded in his skin and I had to take him to urgent care to have the pieces removed and the hole cleaned out and closed. The doctor said if the pencil was a fraction of an inch down, he would have lost his eye. I thought I was keeping such close tabs on them. After the two bloddy noses and biting matches, I have been using baby gates and keeping everyone within my line of sight (so I thought) at every moment. I was distracted while on the phone with a friend when the incident occurred.
90% of the time these boys are normal (even "good"). When they are upset though, they are punching walls, people, each other, etc. Now with the pencil stabbing, I am just done! I am feeling so guilty though. I know I could reach these boys if they stayed longer, I just can't risk it. I put in my "30-day-notice" on these boys, but expressed to the SW that I would rather not wait that long as the safety of my young children is at risk here. I sure hope she finds somewhere else for these boys fast (hopefully a home without other little kids).
