To the OP.. it's a 4 yr old. Most people try to downplay injuries to young kids so they give don't you extra drama. Bottom line is that the injury was attended to.
You are in for the long haul. Be consistent on how you parent. It pays off.
I have three children. #1 never lived with me. I had access but she often refused and I spent years not even seeing him ( they do get busy lives ). Fast forward 25 years .... he loves me. He even dropped her half of the hyphenated name.
#2 & #3 were in a shared custody arrangement for 6 yrs. The ex did the snatch grab and safe home routine. The youngest came out the Safe home with a cast on her arm so my very first day of shared custody was to drive 1.5 hrs to the hospital for cast removal. On the way home from there I got T-boned with the children in the truck. So one my first day of custody I had to phone her up and get the kids and keep them for three months while I recovered.
My best advice to you is to buy two packs of kid bandaids that SHE picks out. One for your house and one for moms. She will think of you when she puts a bandaid on EVERY little cut she has..and her doll and her dog ....
