my mom had 4 kids under 6 & never forgot about any of us while out shopping/running errands. When the youngest was born, she was 26. No sympathy from me.
But at least you were kind enough to post your lack of sympathy.
She looks way older than 27. She's probably overwhelmed which means it's time to stop having kids.
It's one of the most common messages on the internet. It's time to stop having kids or you shouldn't have had so many kids or any variation of that. Maybe if people post it a billion times someone will read it and appreciate it. Or not.
Smh... People need to stop having kids if they are so forgetful that they nearly risk the child's life. "I forgot" my child in the cart, in the car, in the store etc should never be a valid excuse. I have a child and even in my worst parenting moments I have never forgot him... These stories about leaving kids in cars and random places are getting ridiculous now. It needs to be said: don't have any kids if your so overwhelmed and mind-f**** that you forget them and risk their lives.
Such stories are everywhere because the internet causes almost all stories to get blown out of proportion and broadcast to the whole world. It probably always happened but news reporters probably didn't consider it an interesting story before the internet.
While some people may be able to handle 4 kids by 27, she clearly cannot. Anybody who is absent-minded enough to leave a kid in a cart or car or anywhere else probably should not have kids, not have so many kids, or become a little more responsible. It may sound harsh, but it's reality. Someone could have taken that baby. He could have been kidnapped or killed. A child left in the car could die. When it's literally life or death, someone needs to be harsh.
She could use your time machine and go back in the past and unhave the kids. Where do you park it?
I get forgetting your kid at school if you aren't used to picking them up after work. But a 2mo newborn that your entire life is supposed to be wrapped up in? Nope.
Newborns keep moms awake till they can't think straight. Wait till mothers day to complain about mothers. And when it comes time to complain, take into account that it's mothers day, before you make your words too harsh.
I can see how this could happen. I left my purse in a cart once. What the mother did was an awful, scary thing, but it could happen to anyone. Other people watched over the baby until she returned. No harm done.
I would have called 911 as soon as I realized what I had done. I don't think she did.
I mean she put all the groceries up but forgot the new baby that she just had in the cart? It's b.s. and we all know it.
You may know it, but I don't. Put groceries in car, close trunk/rear door, go to front to open passenger doors, get distracted by something happening, such as a big bird landing on the car roof or a dirty homeless bum asking for a dollar, then proceed to get in the car and drive away.
If I were the mom, I would be sick about it, because I would never want to abandon such a nice baby. One who doesn't even cry, but just waits patiently to be moved to the car seat. And the mother was probably even sicker in real life than we are in all our gossip.
But it wasn't such a disaster. It was baby's day out. Just needed a steering wheel for the cart, to go places and do stuff. Plenty of fresh air, and lots of attention from people wondering whose baby it was.
She could use your time machine and go back in the past and unhave the kids. Where do you park it?
You know I really really wish that was possible for some people. Then maybe we'd have less dead children in the world.
You're getting sarcastic but tell me how I'm wrong?
