When Parenting Guilt Hits: My Baby Rolled Off the Bed

Last night, my heart dropped when I heard a thud and realized my son had crawled right off the bed. In that split second, I felt like the worst parent in the world. I scooped him up, checked him over, and thankfully he was just startled—no injuries. But the guilt still lingers. It’s so hard not to replay the moment in my mind, wondering what I could have done differently. I know accidents happen, but that doesn’t make it any easier to forgive myself. Have you ever experienced something similar? How did you cope with the guilt? Share your stories or advice below—I’d love to hear from you. #ParentingJourney #MomGuilt #RealLifeParenting #Parenting
