[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting standards have changed so much.  In the 80s nobody would question a 7 year old left in the car.  Now we do.   I won't be surprised when there are fewer babies born as the laws and requirements become even stricter for the next generation.[/quote]

In the 80s I once left my 8 yr old, 3 yr old and a 6 month old I was babysitting in the car while I went into 7-11 to get some milk.  I could see them all through the window from the 7-11.  For some reason I mentioned it to the mom of the baby and she said she would prefer in the future if I had to go into a store that I take her child with me.  I said, He was fine, my son was there if anything happened and I was in the store for less than 5 minutes and could see them the whole time.  She insisted.  I stopped babysitting that child.  [/quote]

That worked out well for both of you then.

Yes it did.  I was fine with that outcome.  My point is that's what happened in the 80s to me so my experience is people were questioning these types of decisions then.[/quote]
