Actually several people are responding here, but if it makes you feel better to think you are right (superior) and all the other people are wrong, sit there on that high horse. Don't get a nose bleed. |
It isn't helpful to take on a responsibility that you don't want and may not have time for yourself. Op already has "helped" this woman by keeping an eye on her car (and sleeping child) while the woman dashed in to get her oldest. If this was a one time thing, NBD. But this lady is making this a habit and Op doesn't want the job of hanging around watching this lady's car/baby. Who watches the car if Op is sick or on vacation or has an appt to get to ASAP? |
| I'm really surprised by the responses. I would tell the daycare and then myob. If I happened to be doing drop off or pick up at the same time I would watch from my car until she returned but the expectation that OP coordinate her schedule with this mom is ridiculous. It is not okay to leave your baby in a car! I only do it if I am in my own driveway. |
What makes your driveway inherently more safe than a daycare center? It's a false security. OP - mind your own business. This woman has made a calculation that leaving a sleeping baby for 2 minutes is an acceptable risk, just as you have decided that letting your child ride in a car at all is an acceptable level of risk. She's not doing anything wrong, and you need to butt out. |
I'm not helping her out. Not planning on it. Not sorry. Watching your head explode about this is pretty funny though. |
| She is leaving a sleeping baby in an air conditioned car that is almost certainly locked for two minutes. And you people want to call the police? Y'all are a bunch of loons. |
OP You are being a bitch. MYOB. The baby is FINE, but you are an ass. |
| Mind your own friggin' business, you nosy busybody. |
But you have plenty of time to mind her business for her. The baby will be fine, but you need some psych help. |
"HELP THIS WOMAN! HELP HER!" I'm LMAO at you! |
The difference between a private driveway and a daycare center's parking lot is - ownership. You own your own driveway while the daycare center owns the center parking lot. The owner gets to make the rules. I used to leave my kids strapped in their seats in the driveway while I ran in/out of the house unloading groceries. Why? Because they were either sleeping or I needed for them to be contained for a few minutes while I ran groceries inside the house. I didn't have a garage...so the car was parked in my driveway. I suppose I could have taken the kids inside, put them in a playpen to scream or let them run around freely and unsupervised while I unloaded the groceries but what sense would that make? I suppose some sort of freak car jacking could have happened. But something easily as freakish could have happened if I took the kids inside the house - maybe the house could have exploded into flames while I was unloading the groceries from the car....ugh. People do not understand risk. |
Wait now I'm confused. Am I supposed to HELP THIS WOMAN! Help her! Or mind my own business? |
LOL. Pot me kettle. |
You have a few screws loose if you think the OP is the one with a problem here. |
signed the OP. |
