How about “Oh my gosh, are you okay sweetie? Let’s get you some ice while I call the dentist”. Then I try to arrange an LC on my overdraft. At least that is what I did.
My kid knocked both his front teeth out playing hockey when he was nine and as a broke single mother working two jobs, I had squat.
Yet, somehow, I managed to find some credit. As a mother, your child comes first, and even brok a** me found a way to pay for him. I got him to the emergency dentist first and worried about paying afterwards. They were understanding and gave me a pay schedule and I paid it off from my second job a little every week until I was debt free. It took a year.
More importantly, I never once complained about the cost in front of him, making him feel bad. I just said it will be ok – alot – even if I knew it wasn’t
Really? That is your first thought, Val?
Money?
