MOTY - so, that just happened...

I was headed out on errands and in front of my doctors office the parking spots are way small. So I park, go to the door to get DD out in her car seat, pull out the car seat and lock the doors and put the keys in with her in the car seat. All normal. Right as I am about to close the door, a lady carrying a box comes to the car next to me. She can't get the door open wide enough to get the box in so she asked if I would move the car some. No problem.
I set DDs car seat back in the base, reach in, grab keys and close the door to go to my door. Get to me door and the keys I have are her little teether keys. DD is now locked in the car!! DH is out of town, my parents are out of town, I don't have AAA, so I have to call 911 to have them come unlock the car.
I end up being that woman, and DD is crying hysterically in the car. The firemen get there, make me feel even more like crap than I already do, the other lady is profusely apologizing for distracting me, and then I ugly cry all the way home from the emotions/ hormones/ adrenalin, etc... Needless to say, errands were abandoned and now I am just home cuddling DD for a bit.

This is why I never lock my car doors - I am sure if I do, I am going to lock LO in the car one day :-)
I second everyone who says you're not a bad mom and screw those firemen for making you feel like you were.

WTF Fireman?! But even more than that...WTF lady for asking you to move your car?! If I were in her shoes I would try anything else before asking a mom with her baby to get back in their car and move it. I'm going to say she probably didn't have kids.
Sorry this happened to you, OP.

DH accidentally locked DS1 in his truck in our driveway. The spare key was in his truck, of course. I freaked out because it was hot out and we broke a window to get in. It was a scary 3 minutes!
