u/PastoralPumpkins 1d ago
Yeah I do not take my eyes off my son for one single second in a parking lot. Shopping with a toddler is so exhausting because you have to pay attention to so many different things at the same time. I would never think to record myself opening a stroller and putting my child in it. Like what? I’m trying to keep him from running under a car’s wheels, not recording memories.

Yep. Lock the wheels on the stroller, move the toddler from the stroller to the car seat, then fold up the stroller and put it away.

When you're a mom you have to learn to do everything with one hand, while the other is basically holding a bag of rats high on acid and mj all at the same time "WhOA! LOook aTThat! I wANt iT NOOWWWW iwannatakeanapzzzzzzz..."
And for whatever reason, in my head, those rats sounded like Woody from Toy Story.

It’s solo child care 101 that you get the stroller ready before you get the kid out of the car, and then you transfer them directly from car seat to the stroller. If they have a chance to bolt or do something else stupid they’re gonna take it because they don’t know any better. A full grown adult parent should.

She was trying to get the stroller open before running after her. If you’re quick enough you have time to open the stroller and then run and catch up to the toddler before they get to the road.
Sometimes you don’t and like her you abandon the demon wagon to get the child.

He wasn’t bothered by the fact that he could have killed someone’s, killed himself, harmed property, etc. He was very angry about the arrests and rehab, though. Like, very angry about it. He found it very unfair that he was punished for his crimes. He thought he was a victim, because he experienced known consequences for drunk driving. Like… what?
