[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I've been following this thread with a lot of interest - and have commented before... But you know what I realized tonight? If I left my sleeping babies in a car a block and a half away, I wouldn't enjoy the wine tasting. It would just be too stressful. And I'm curious what kind of person would be able to enjoy going out whole leaving their kid in a precarious situation - they're educated enough to know it wasn't the best choice.[/quote]

This this this. I would be so stressed out. I cannot explain it but there is an internal clock inside of me that is basically just on when the kids are awake. I basically couldn't enjoy a glass of wine unless they are safely tucked in their own crib/bed. And even then I'm super careful not to go overboard if they need me later.[/quote]

I think this is why I'm fascinated with this story.  I'm a 36 yr old FTM who lived in DC for years. Dh and I had a very active social life - and miss it, of course but life changed and that's ok.  I can barely enjoy a night out if my DS is home with my parents safely tucked into his own crib.  I'd that an issue, maybe?  But I'm ok with it.  I'm concerned about him, his safety, his fears, his comfort, his development, his happiness.  [b]I've looked up thus couple...their jobs, Facebook pages, etc.  they do seem " normal" and unlike a couple you might normally see on the news that has been charged for a similar crime. [/b] I just can't wait for a statement or response from this couple.  What the HELL were they (BOTH) thinking? [/quote]

Of course, we all know that only poor, single, minority/white trash women with multiple baby daddies could ever hurt their children!  The proof is in the pudding - this "normal" couple left their children in a car with an iPhone.  You can rationalize it all you want but this is what happened - makes your uncomfortable does it?   It must scare you that this "us" versus "them" mentality is really just smoke and mirrors?[/quote]
