[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More than anything I am afraid this thread illustrates why women are underrepresented in positions of power, authority, and responsibility.  Anyone judging OP for this is devoid of critical thinking skills, fundamental logic, and the ability to appropriately assess risk.  I would be willing to bet the average Dad wouldn’t think twice about this and would be utterly confused as to why the hell anyone would think a normally developing second grader is incapable of sitting in a car for a short time.  It’s a hysterical and illogical overreaction to, dare I say, a nothing-burger.

What OP did was fine.  I would not let those of you bashing her be in charge of a deep fryer at McDonald’s, and I certainly wouldn’t take any advice you might have to offer up on child rearing.[/quote]

OP left the engine running. Dumb. [/quote]
What does that have to do with anything? If a carjacker accidentally stole a car with a kid in it, they would either park the car and get out or dump the kid somewhere. Kidnapping is a much more serious crime than car theft. If the criminal was sexually motivated, he can just as easily snatch a kid off a bike, so the car means nothing. OP could have left the doors locked too. [/quote]

That kind of trauma is the character building you’re looking for? When OP was upset because the security guard talked to her kid?

Mmm hmm.

Turn off the engine. Why is that so hard for you?

A neurotic high-strung mother is also traumatizing

NO TIMMY GET OUT OF THE CAR *RIGHT NOW* I CAN'T LEAVE YOU FOR TEN MINUTES over an entire childhood causes trauma [/quote]

You sound high-strung, pp. [/quote]
I am. And I realize it is a personality flaw. Even I think it is crazy to agonize about leaving a 7 year old in a car for 10 minutes. [/quote]
