I don't think losing your child is "punishment enough" when you leave them in a car and they die. Accident or not. It is your responsibility to look after your child
I've been in work hell for the past few days, and then daycare called because James hurt his finger and thought I should have a doc look at it, so I raced to daycare to find him with a cuticle scrape and a bruise, and now I'm working from home. I appreciate their concern and being proactive, but really?????
FFFC -- I am not-so-secretly thrilled with the above, because I dind't want to be at work anymore anyway. ;-)
I confess that I have been working all week to teach Rhys to put himself to sleep. But yesterday I let him nap on me for an hour... And the sweet snuggles were glorious.

Listen, my heart breaks for them too. I can't imagine losing my child - let alone by my own hand. But, as a parent, it is our responsibility to watch out for our kids day in and day out. I understand that routines get shifted and things out of the norm happen but that doesn't mean you get a pass when you're negligent

Shouldn't you be doing insanity right now? ;-) Also, you clearly didn't read the article I posted!

I also think letting the parents get away with no punishment opens up a loop-hole for other crazies to do the same thing and use the "I forgot" excuse.
I confess that I hate mobile bumping! My real confession is that a neighbor told me how she claimed anxiety after her maternity disability leave was up and was given another 3 weeks paid. I'm currently looking into the logistics. It would be great to get more time and who doesn't have anxiety with 2 babies?
Sounds like short term disability... depends on how your company handles it but a lot of people go on short term disability after maternity leave.
I am currently starting a pinteret board of homeschooling ideas for Pre-K already. I have also joined several groups and am scoping out different curriculum. I know I am about three years too early.
I read the article and I cried, especially thinking about how that man feels every day of his life. I absolutely do not agree with the woman who said, “I don’t feel I need to forgive myself,” she says plainly, “because what I did was not intentional.”
There are a lot of things I do unintentionally - running a red light, not stopping for 3 seconds at a stop sign, speeding, etc but if one of those actions should harm someone else, shouldn't I be responsible for dealing with the repercussions? Now, why is it any different when it's our own flesh and blood? When literally our number 1 objective is to love, protect and keep them safe
My step sister got herself in a lot of trouble last year, getting a DUI, losing custody of her kids and having some sort of alcohol induced psychotic episode. My dad and step mom helped her pick up the pieces of her life. She's supposedly been in AA since then and is in a new relationship.
My sister saw ss buying a ton of beer (ss didn't see my sister)....I want so badly to mention this to my dad, because I'm afraid he'll get sucked into her drama all over again. My sister doesn't want to say anything, and it's not my story to tell so I'm keeping my lip zipped.
Maybe the beer was for someone else, but I doubt it. A still recovering alcoholic shouldn't be buying alcohol, period. Right?

I was "that chick" at a work-ish function last week who had waaay too much to drink. I literally do not remember the time from leaving the event until I woke up on the floor of my living room the next morning. Fortunately I'm told I was a charming drunk at the event; just the car ride home until I passed out on the sidewalk in front of my house (and had to be carried in by my spouse and a coworker) that was not so awesome. It was pretty much mortifying.
Note to self and anyone who is a drinking light-weight: do not have 2 beers, an unknown number of glasses of wine, and follow it all up with a shot of Patron. Bad plan. Really, really bad plan.

Wow we should hang out, I cannot imagine you that way. Lol.

Yeah... That is a sanitized version of events. Suffice it to say, I'm glad I don't remember the end of the night.
@Kate_C, I hope your husband showed you some mercy and took care of the kids the next day. Getting up early with loud active children the next day is enough to make me never drink again. Almost.
Fortunately my parents were here and were amazing. H had to work. So my parents spoiled the kids and babied me far beyond what I deserved. Lucky lady right here. My parents are the best.
@Kate_C - best thing I've read all day. My confession; for the first time in the year I have been back to work I had a meltdown and spent many days funking this week because I don't want to work anymore. I want to be with DD - doing the fun things the summer offers us..... Anywho this meltdown was not enough to change my plans for today of taking the day off, sending LO to daycare and spending the day at the beach with one of my many teacher friends. And it was UH-MAZING

I'm in a work funk too, girlfriend. I hear ya. Mine is not 100% about wanting to be home with James, although sometimes I do want that, but about the fact that I basically hate my job right now and feel forced into a position that I never wanted in the first place, and now have to figure out a way out of it with just 8 weeks left until baby. Unfun.
I polished off not one but two large bowls of Lucky Charms for my evening snack. And then ate some Cheetos. And if that wasn't bad enough I almost went and got ice cream out of the freezer but instead settled on a few Now and Laters. :-\"
I had a ridiculously busy day yesterday so I'm late. We had dinner club last night and I'm so freaking hungover today. And I have to take Ava to a 3 year old birthday party this morning at 10. Kill me now.

It sounds like you should have a mimosa to help you deal.
