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.
I agree.
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.
Hey guys, there are people every year that forget and leave a baby in the car or whom drive off forgetting a kid etc.
If you are tired and juggling a million things and distracted, mistakes can and do happen.
Heck, the military had to add a function to the device where you target the enemy for an airstrike because someone entered THEIR OWN gps coordinates and not the targets. (Ooooops! I think about 8 people died in that friendly fire incident.)
Accidents happen and if it turns out this is a pattern of behavior, or if drugs are involved then that's one thing but if it's a one-time thing then I'd have some compassion.
And no one's going to convince me that she wasn't distracted by yakking on her phone, or texting.
Yep.
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.
I have a friend who was a young mother in England during the 60's. At that time (I don't know if they still do it), it was common practice to go shopping with the baby and park the baby carriage outside the shop, go in and do your daily shopping and then collect the baby and go home. My friend, one day, forgot she had a baby and went home and only remembered when she saw the baby stuff when she walked into the house. She then went back to the village shop and collected her baby. She was not a bad mother, said baby grew up safely and is now a grandmother herself.. so its possible to make a mistake while raising children and it not be the end of the world.. It becomes a family story and you move on.

Unfortunately they don't find out they can't handle it until it is too late.

I think probably the so overwhelmed and mind -f*** sets in AFTER one already has the 4 kids.
