[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]

It was ten minutes. [/quote]

You weren't there so you don't actually know.[/quote]

That is what OP stated. You are correct that she could have estimated wrong. The parents that are busted usually underestimate the time they left their child alone. [/quote]

10 minutes or half an hour.  Who cares?  They both absolutely qualify as “a short time” over here in non-crazy world.[/quote]

It's not "a few minutes."[/quote]

Technically two minutes is also not “a few minutes”.  What’s your point?[/quote]
