PLEASE read and share this. I hear soooo many people say how they would never do that and people who do shouldn't have kids. That style of thinking is incredibly dangerous and naive. I hope that those people can be educated on the facts and how this can be prevented.

Ugh so sad. Idk how those people manage to live with themselves after something like this. I don't think I'd be able to go on.

Someone stopped being my friend over this debate a few years back. There was a recent case at the time and I mentioned that I leave my purse beside my son, JUST IN CASE. She was pregnant with her first at the time and gave me hell for it. Made me feel like a piece of shit mom. We haven't spoken since.

I say that to say, it absolutely can happen to you/your child. Use whatever preventative measures you deem necessary.

I just don't get that line of thinking? You're taking precautions against something horrible happening. Was she taking it like you routinely forget your kid in the car lol. I mean how is putting your bag in the backseat with him that much different from making sure he's buckled in properly? One is making sure he's safe when the car is in motion and one is making sure he's safe when it isn't. The end goal of keeping him alive is the same.

That article is one of the most heart breaking things I have read in a long time. I literally cried several times. I wish people would quit judging everyone and try to understand that sometimes life just get so busy that we forget things. This whole "Mom Wars" shit has GOT to stop. Life is not a competition. We don't have to try to outdo each other at everything, including harsh and horrible comments and judgement made about people we don't know and whose pain in these situations we can't possibly imagine.

Her kid is at least three now. Hopefully she gets that shit happens at this point.

I don't get that way of thinking either. How could it possibly be a bad thing? No idea. It may have also been because I said we're all only human and people make mistakes.

I know . Every time one of my kids gets hurt I think about it for days. The first day we got to England our TLF wasn't ready so we had to stand outisde waiting for hours until it was done. Carter tripped on the cerb and hit his face. He had the worst bruise and I was hysterical. Even now when I see pictures of hijm with that bruise, I feel awful and sick to my stomach.

Wow. I wonder if she's come off that high horse yet and she's just afraid to reach out.

It really is. I read it at least once a year and I bawl every time. I'm so over mom wars. I've lost many "friends" over mom wars and while I realize I'm probably better off without them, I still worryin instances like this because people are flat out refusing to open their minds to the fact that THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM and they're not willing to learn about how to prevent it. It's scary.
