Parents: Have you ever forgot your kid somewhere?

Question

Have you ever forgot your baby or kid somewhere? I never have but being a new Mom I'm always extra extra careful, but every mom has their moments. It's my worst fear that it will happen to me one day. Any stories you want to share?

Answer 1

I had such bad dreams about forgetting my child somewhere or no feeding them lol But when I had my first this never happened even tho I was worried sick when I was pregnant. I think all new moms have this worry :) You are not alone

Answer 2

Once, I was at the pharmacy, I set the infant seat down, next to me when I was standing at the counter, got my prescription, tucked my insurance card in my purse, turned, and walked right out the door.
I got about halfway out the door, realized I forgot something, and ran back for my baby, but I will never forget the looks on the faces of the cashiers.....

Answer 3

Nope, but I saw this story about a woman who left her newborn in sears for over an HOUR! I have never been left anywhere and I think my fiance said something about being left at a grocery store once.

I don't think I will EVER forget my child, she is too noisy! LOL! If I forget her, it will be on purpose. LOL! J/K, I meant like when I leave her at my mom so I can have some peace and QUIET for about an hour! LOL!

Answer 4

I haven't. My wife sorta did. We have two girls close in age. The 4 year old fell asleep on the way home and wife had to get in a bunch of groceries from car. (the car was parked in a private locked and climate controlled garage.) After she did the groceries, neither child was to be seen; mom thought they were playing in their rooms.... Until I got home. I asked where she was.... She was still sleeping in the car 30 minutes later.

Freaked my wife out, I found it amusing.

Answer 5

I did forget to take my 1 year old daughter back home, after spending an evening at my parents house. We had reached home, when we realised it. I called my mom to tell her, we are coming back for her, mom said she was alseep and not to worry, get her in the morning. That was the only one time.

Answer 6

I have been forgotten by my grandpa in the bakery. He would always go alone, but this one time he had to take me, while he was buying whatever he met his friend and started to chat and left. I was there for like 45 min. But small cities they knew my grandpa, so when he arrived home, my grandma was fuming and made him go back get me.

It didn't traumatized me though, I even got free ice cream while I waited

Answer 7

No, and when some do, they usually wind up on the news for having a lost child or a dead one. Some people are just not fit if they can't keep an eye out for their attachments!

Answer 8

my mom got left at a grocery store for an hour. my mom was also 1 of 14 kids. my poor grandma. she finally realized when she got home and called the store to make sure she was in good hands. me- i go grocery shopping and between putting my 4 kids in the van, i drive home without the groceries....

Answer 9

I never have. I heard some ladies talking about forgetting their baby in the car while they ran into walmart though. That was kind of disturbing. Bad parenting skills on their part.

Answer 10

Well, My son had went to preshcool and my husband and I had a misunderstanding on who is going to pick up my son from school. for some reason I thought he was going to get him. And, my husband thought I was going to get him. And when the pre schoolers were going home my son was the last to leave. The school called the list of people I had as emergencies. And, The school thought something happened to us. they were worried this never had happend to us. So, The school called my mom and my mom called me at work telling me that my son was left at school. I was so Up set. I felt so horrible as a parent. The next day I droped my child at school I had to apolazied to the School and they were like don't worry this never happend to you guy's and you are alway's on time to pick up your child. So from that day my husband and I made sure that one of us was going to be their. And, My son was just fine. they fed him lunch and they played some games with him to make sure he wasn't going to get upset.

But i was little so i was scared... And another time my mom came to pick me up from my friends house, she came she talked to my friends mom and left... without me!!! :)
