Whats to debate, you're a perfect parent who can / will not concede that amongst us mortals its impossible to catch every second of every trip to a store with two kids under the age of five..

Being an attentive parent is not being a perfect one. You may descend into insults if you wish. There was a time when kids stayed by their parents and were quiet in stores. It was called obedience. I remember that time.

I'm going to say this very plainly so we can end this conversation right now..

If you claim you never took your eyes off of one of your kids long enough for something bad to them to have happened you're a damn liar..

If you will admit that at least once or twice it was the grace of God and not your perfect parents eyes that preserved your kids from danger you need to back off of this mother who lost her kid..

Ahhh, the Good Old Days. I remember them well.

And we didn’t have car seats, seatbelt laws and spanking a child in a public place wouldn’t land you in jail. This did not happen then, it happened now. We have been systematically removing discipline from child rearing since a guy named Spock wrote a book. (He later, before his death, admitted he had no idea what he was writing about)
