In the article, Mom is quoted as saying she heard a crash. She didn't say she saw it. I can't imagine how she felt. Maybe I was different but I was very careful with my kids. You don't get a 2nd chance. Poor Darkchylde is 21 and I still try to grab her hand. Force of habit. lol You should hear the 35 yr old and 31 yr old when I try to do that to them. They look at me and say "Mom?"
And you are the one who keeps BRAGGING about how your mother would leave you and your siblings while she went into the dressing room...............just because it was the 50s?
HOW DARE YOU condemn this woman for turning her head for a moment when her child was 5 feet away.
Why do you refuse to address that? Is it because you realize the mistake you have made in condemning this woman? I'm truly starting to wonder just what is was that happened in a store because you or your mother turned your head for a moment that makes you so very defensive here.
