[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it all- there's a mom who has a napping baby in the car while she picks up her kid from daycare. She has to enter the building, go around the corner, sign out the kid, and get back to the car.  Car is running. There isn't normally space right out front-but it's not a far walk.  I timed it-child is unaccompanied in the car for about two minutes. Say something? Or MYOB.[/quote]

Since you have the time to time her while she's away from the car, Why don't you ask her if she'd like for you to stay at the car and watch her sleeping baby while she runs in to grab her kid? That would probably be the best way to help out a fellow parent who appears to be juggling conpeting schedules for her kids. [/quote]

OP, you could learn a lot from this poster and 00:27, who both came at this situation from a compassionate, helpful angle.

Too bad you are too self-absorbed to listen to them.[/quote]

Are you really suggesting that I coordinate my daily schedule with this women so I can stand by her car for two extra minutes every day? [/quote]

You're missing the point.  You immediately think about how you can get this woman in trouble (timing her? Really?).  A good person, like the PPs, would ask first how they can help this woman.  Shame on you.[/quote]

You're missing the point. I'm not timing her to get her in trouble. I'm timing her to make sure the baby isn't alone in a car for an unreasonable amount of time. And I'm not trying to "get her in trouble". Please grow up. I'm trying to gauge whether this behavior is sufficiently risky that I should raise it with her or have the center raise it with her.  And I can't reorganize my life to make sure I coincide with her at daycare so I can stand by her car or check out her child (which would not even be permissible).  So please stop obsessing about this-it's not going to happen.  [/quote]

Backpedal, rewrite, deflect, backpedal some more...[/quote]

Or...just read my post where I said EXACTLY that. [/quote]

"I don't want to spend my free time helping her out."[/quote]

That's right, I don't.  If you had bothered to read further you will also see [b]why I timed her and it was not to "get her in trouble". [/b] I have my own family to take care of.  I'm interested in the welfare of the kid, not i[b]nterested in becoming part of her village, nor is it realistic.  I guess the question,[/b] since I have to spell it out for dense and obsessive people like yourself is GOING FORWARD should I raise it with her/the center. Since, as previously noted, [b]I cannot time my entire life to meet her at daycare and stand by her car. [/b][/quote]

But you have plenty of time to mind her business for her. The baby will be fine, but you need some psych help.[/quote]
