Men.

This is exclusively a men problem. Women do not do this, at all, ever.  [/quote]

This was sarcasm? Right? Because

I agree it's not only men but many of those you posted are not the primary parent. Quite a few foster moms and grandmothers in there. And WTH is that one about an 8 year old. How is an 8 year old trapped in a car???!?[/quote]

And quite a few were the mothers of these children. I wonder why some women are so invested in believing this could never happen to them or another mother.[/quote]

It could and does happen to mothers. But not mothers who are the primary default parent. They don’t forget they have the kids - they always have the kids. For me it felt weird to drive to the grocery store and NOT have a kid. They were always with me.

When you read the stories you can always point to a lapse in judgement, a non primary parent, a deviation in routine, or an outright neglectful parent on occasion. It still doesn’t just randomly happen. [/quote]

It happens to people who are outside of their routine.  Primary default parents can also be outside of their routine.  I posted above, that I did the reverse, driving to my kids' school, parking getting out, walking in to find the door locked, panicking and then remembering it was the first day of spring break and the kids were with grandma.  I was definitely the primary default parent, that doesn't mean that I didn't have routines that could change.  [/quote]

And some of us are telling we’ve never done something like that, not even once, even if nothing bad happened. I never subconsciously thought my kids were somewhere else when I had them. Ever. [/quote]
