Scruples help needed

[Ghhh]

For awhile I have been struggling with scruples. Some days it dosn’t bother me too bad but others it is bad. Yesterday my 2 year old nephew was at our house and I was holding him. I went to go and put him down and put my hand where his crouch is to put him down easy. After I did that I felt like I did it on purpose but I know I would never to anything like that to anyone especially my nephew. This has been bothering me the whole day and I need help with this. So I’m wondering if this is a sin or not. I think I purposely meant to put my hand there and think I’m in mortal sin for doing it. I don’t think I purposely put my hand there I just did it from instincts. So if I don’t even know if I did it purposely would it be a sin?

You know the drill for scruples…
Don’t post here take it to your regular confessor.

If you don’t have one then ask yourself why you don’t.
Again, that’s a sign of scruples - unwilling to trust a spiritual authority.

We cannot help you, we are amateurs, you will not get clear advice here.

If you think what you did was bad, just wait until you have children of your own. You will have to change their diapers, and probably wash that part of their bodies. Then you powder them to prevent them from getting diaper rash.

You will worry all the time, then…until the little guys grow up and learn to take care of their own hygiene.
