I am already in such a miserable state seeing my daughter with a hugely bandaged hand, she has to go to the doc to change the dressing every 2-3 days and I was told it will take 10-14 days to heal and I am dealing with a helper with an attitude problem and here you go picking on me telling me that nothing would've happened if I were to look after the kids myself.

I'm sorry but if the hand has to be bandaged, this is simply not an accident. Turning the cold water tap on and not checking the temperature is an accident. How many of us have done this to ourselves and NOT ended up in the hospital? I have for sure. If the bub was crying and the helper ignored the cry then that's negligence. Instinctively WE ALL know that if a baby's cry is a sign of distress. The helper here did not check.

Icing on the cake, shows no remorse (Quite typical of them to be on the defensive). Her behaviour is unacceptable given that this is beyond an accident.

I'm a working mum. If I feel that I can't trust the helper, out the door she goes. There's thousands of them and a GOOD find is RARE. So, if she's so blaze about it all, she ain't worth it. BTW, given that there is a doctor's report, you don't have to give her the month's notice to send her packing.

The whole unpleasant situation could have been avoided had she simply been remorseful. It's a pity she's decided to be on the defensive and show her true colours. Always happens.
