[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - last time. I won’t be leaving my kid in the car again. This was a safe neighborhood,  not some crime ridden CVS in the hoods?!? of Nothern Virginia. There is a reason the security guard was there that doesn’t really have anything to do with crime. I’m not going to say why because I feel like that would give away more information than I am comfortable with.

People saying that I don’t parent are ridiculous, or that I am lazy. No, I think my son is responsible enough to be left in the car. He is risk averse and not the type of kid to try and drive the car; we’ve spoken about that. There was obviously a security guard there.  Last night I had to have another conversation with him where I told him he did nothing wrong and I was wrong (I still don’t think what I did was wrong but obviously we live in a society so).  The security guard scared him, because he questioned him and because he was correcting me. I mean, I just wonder about raising a kid in a society where he can’t be left alone for a second and we have to constantly be afraid of carjackers and kidnappers in the hood that is Northern Virginia.  When I was his age, I could go outside and play with my friends with no adult supervision. Our society is so anti-family and so wrapped up in fear. Anyway whatever. I’ve been chastised. I’ll wait until he is 13? before I leave him alone again. [b]The mom shamers have been vindicated.  [/quote][/b]

Honestly, op you are acting like the victim and we are 'shaming' you but we are not.  You asked a question and it was answered.  Next time, don't ask if you don't want a truthful response.  Personally I would work on my 7 year old and get him to obey you more. If he had gone into the store than none of this would  have happended.

Maybe you can get him to go into the store next time..but,telling him the security guard will get mommy in trouble if he doesn't![/quote]
