Oh I have not been mean at all. But you are way out of line and needed to have that conveyed to you. A man is dead. By violent means. In front of his family. In front of his five year old daughter. Who was sitting in his lap. Sitting in his lap while he bled. Probably she got blood on her. Neck wounds are bloody. But G-d and His angels forbid she be out after the AAP and your personal bedtime chart.
Now for all we know the child does get the suggested hours of sleep a day. Doctors probably base bed time recommendations (these don’t have the force of law or regulation behind them) on a typical schedule for a five year old in today’s society. Usually that means school starting at 8 or 9 in the morning.
But that really does not matter. Because it will be a damn long time before this child ever gets the sleep she needs again. She will miss her daddy every moment. That grief never fully goes away. It is damn scary and it scars. It is a wound that draws a different kind of blood. Your soul’s blood. Try to get that.
A sick evil person brought this child’s world crashing down and you conjecture some wrong doing on the part of the victim. Even to suggest it was some sort of set up. To have that in the forefront of your mind is inconceivable to me. So consider yourself lucky that I have not been mean. I am done here. I hope you say a prayer for that man’s family.
Well said
I can honestly say this may be worst display tonight I’ve ever witnessed in 18 years here
Crazy
A young dad....a kid to me...
I have five kids and over the years we’ve eaten out all matter of hours
I did too as a kid in the nostalgic 50s and 60s
My dad would lay out his jacket and I’d sleep by the table before carry car seats were in vogue
Folk should would smile knowingly
To be honest a wild cat kid is easier when they’re sleepy.....I lived in Miami with our daughters....a late night town if ever there was one...we’d eat with kids a lot later than 9 on weekends
Best. Response. Ever.
It will fall on deaf ears unfortunately.
Good post. Thanks.
