[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, [b]i don't think you're wrong to find that alarming[/b]. I would never dream of leaving my 3- and 5-yr-olds alone and far from my sight, in a crowded, chaotic venue where people aren't necessarily paying attention to what's happening around them.  Astonishing that some seem to be suggesting that it was safer to leave them alone in their seats instead of bringing them with him to the snack stand or restroom.[/quote]

Do you normally leap to conclusions? Of course it was wrong. She should have made the more rational assumption, which was that someone else had responsibility for them during his brief absence.

Moreover, it's a lot safer to leave small children in seats like that then to herd them through crowded hallways of a sporting event.[/quote]

I think PP is operating under the assumption that the DH was alone with the kids, not with friends or relatives.

I disagree that it was safer to leave them alone in their seats rather than bring them along to buy popcorn. It is hard for me to believe that any reasonable mom would see the former as the safer option.  Even if you did ask a stranger sitting nearby to keep an eye on them...one, that's an undue burden on said stranger, who is trying to watch the game and now has to make sure that your kids stay put, stay safe, etc. And two, you don't know what kind of person that stranger may be.[/quote]
