[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 3-year-old just killed 14 people in New York playing with the stove. There is a reason this is illegal. I would have a very hard time staying in this position. Anything could happen; I wouldn't feel responsible, since she's the one who left, but I would feel terribly sad.

What if you're in a fender-bender on your way there or something?

Unless the children were always sleeping during this time, I think it would make me increasingly uncomfortable, and I would have to quit.

Why not ask MB if she needs to move your start time up by 15 minutes?[/quote]

Fires start when people are sleeping. I cannot fathom this at all!!!!  And the person who leaves their 5 y/o at home... What if she turned in the stove? What if an electrical fire started? What if a nosey neighbor called the police? What if LO was doing gymnastics and broke a body part?  5 year olds do not have the ability to handle an emergency. [/quote]

I am the PP with the 5yo. It was ridiculously cold and I made a judgment call. DD was sitting on the couch with her tablet. It would never occur to her to touch the stove or pick up matches ( which are hidden away anyway) We all know our own kids and I felt comfortable leaving her for less than 10 mins.  Its not something I make a habit of doing.[/quote]

What if you were in an accident?  Seriously, think about that for a moment. What if you were critically injured? Unconscious?  ANYTHING can happen in a second!  And I’m not one to go overboard and be judgmental about what people do with their children, but ANYTHING could have happened. Then you would likely be fighting to regain custody of your child, which would be terribly sad. [/quote]
