in 3rd Trimester
I have a FFFC.....I heard on the radio this morning about the lady who left her 1 month old in the car to go into the post office, and her baby was kidnapped, now they have NO idea where he is. WHY do people do this? It doesn't matter if your going to just be one second, Don't do it stupid!!!!! Some people shouldn't have baby's! Ok I'm done, anyone else have anything on their chest they'd like to get off? lol

    Wow!  We have a friend that's a police officer and he said it's illegal to even leave your kids in the car in your own driveway. 

    I'm about to delete DH's facebook account.  I'm so sick of the stupid games on there taking up all his time at home.  He isn't home very much, but when he is, he is always playing those games.  I'm also about to throw his blackberry at the wall because when he's not on the computer, he's on his blackberry.

    Here's mine...I hate when people say that someone they don't know "shouldn't have children" because they make a dumb mistake. Every single one of us have made/will make a dumb mistake with our kids. Unfortunately, hers may have cost her child. Sad, but it doesn't mean that she was unworthy of having her child....it means she is human and makes mistakes.

    I feel sad for her...I can't even begin to imagine how she's feeling. Her child is missing and people are focusing more on her mistake than finding her child.

    Ah yes, so it's totally ok for people to say (about a bumpie) "she shouldn't have a baby" because she's always sad, or what they think is "crazy"...But this woman who left her 1 month old baby in a car is ok to...it was just a "mistake"?? Of course I feel bad for her, I couldn't imagine either...But then again I would never leave my baby/child in the car alone!!!

    Did I say it was ever okay for a stranger to say that someone shouldn't have a child? Nope...pretty sure I didn't. I'm talking all cases of people saying that about someone they don't know. She may have been a fabulous mother...who made a really dumb mistake. You have no idea, but go ahead and make comments on her worthiness of being a mother...if that's what makes you feel good.

    A "mistake" that may cost this baby his life...Think about that!  And yes, this makes me feel SO good hearing about things like this...I LOVE it Indifferent are you serious?

    Do you remember that woman in 2002 who saw a bear and left her infant outside in a stroller while she shuffled her two other children inside? The bear took the infant! https://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/08/20/national/main519289.shtml

    Infants really musn't be left alone in any situation.  Hopefully we will learn from other peoples' mistakes.

    Edit: I said that hopefully we learn from other peoples' mistakes, but I really would rather that nobody made mistakes!  The poor stolen baby...

    I just googled the story and it said that she left the baby in the car with it running, parked in front of the front door and ran into the post office. Just seems so strange that in that brief time frame someone looked in the car (in the dark- it was 5pm), saw there was a baby, unbuckled him from his car seat and safely made off with him. Hate to point fingers at the mother, but maybe she set this up. Just doesn't add up. Whatever the story is, I hope that little boy is alright and quickly found.

    Just read your link. That's horrific!

    You clearly don't get what I'm saying, so I'll try to explain it a bit better. I gave my 14 month old a Mini-Ritz cracker the other day, and he full on choked on it. Turned blue, couldn't breathe kind of choked on it. I should have known better and he could have died right there in my arms. It was a really stupid mistake on my part to even give it to him. Had he died (horrible to even think), would that have made me unworthy to be a mother? No. It would've meant that I made a horrible mistake. Mistakes come in all sizes. Obviously, she made an awful mistake and I'm sure she knows it. It does not mean that she shouldn't have children...it means she needs to make better decisions. And, if you have a five year old, I have a very hard time believing that you haven't made at least one really bad decision in his life.

    And I never said that you like hearing these stories, but you do clearly like making nasty comments about the parent.

    Wow see I only heard the "breaking news" so they didn't have all the information. Wow your right, that doesn't sound right at all. How do you run in for just a second and ALL that happens..Someone is lying!!!  She sounds like a fablous mom lol...

    I can say I have NEVER made a "mistake" that could have cost my son his life. Not saying I'm perfect, or that it could never happen. But there's a difference in giving a 14 month a cracker, and leaving a 1 month old in a car alone..I mean how many stories are out there about NOT leaving your baby/child in a car alone! Hello, it's a law in some states. What you did with the cracker is NOTHING like what this woman did.

    (Oh and I'm sorry to hear about that situation, believe it or not I'm not a bad person, just don't understand how you could make that kind of mistake, like she did)

    You say it's different, but I see it as I should have known better and it could have cost my son his life. I'm not saying for one minute that what she did wasn't stupid...because it was. I'm just saying that I hate the "shouldn't have kids" comments. It's a ridiculous thing for anyone to say about someone they don't know (barring actual abuse, not just stupid decisions), imo. 

    There very well may be more to the story, but as far as leaving the baby in the car, yes, it was stupid. But how many have us have thought (not about leaving kids in the car, but in general) that "it could never happen to me"? I have, about all sorts of things. Naive? Maybe. Dumb? Certainly. Human? Absolutely.

    Your right, when I really think about it I shouldn't have said that comment. It just makes me SO mad to hear about things like that...I pray and hope that baby is found and alive. I hate to argue on here, and play into the whole drama thing. I take back my comment about "shouldn't having kids".....but still think she's not the sharpest tool in the shed ;) haha

    Certainly...she is not the sharpest tool. And your post just happened to be the one that I had seen enough of that comment...lol. It was nothing personal. I have just seen it a lot on here and finally had to say something.

    Things like that make me angry that some parents are so uneducated. You think it's common sense, but we read and see alot more things on the nest than your average mother sees/hears on a daily basis. I wouldn't have even heard this story if I hadn't seen it here. They should give things like this more press coverage so that people can learn from others' mistakes.  Giving the benefit of doubt (pregnancy makes me a bit mushy. I tend to do the devil's advocate thing a lot), maybe she really didn't know any better?

    I think that's why I'm always so torn on these stories. Because I think that there really are people out there that are that ignorant (as in "uneducated", not an insult on her).

    Okay, I've rambled long enough on this subject...lol.

    okay this was supposed to be a FFFC people. i do not agree with someone saying that it was a "mistake" either. that is not the kind of mistake a sane person, who would do anything to protect their child, would ever do! this is so sad and heartbreaking. let's all be thankful that none of us will be making the same "mistake".
