that when people feel secure in their surroundings,they may sometimes overlook checking on their children as often as they should. I leave it to the parents here to comment on this,although I would be shocked to see any admit they did this themselves. ESPECIALLY given the nature of the lynch mob here.

I am openly admitting that I DO NOT check on my children in their beds after leaving them home with their DADDY. I go out almost every Friday night with gal friends, sometimes to restaurants, movies, big sales, or craft/quilting in the church basement. And I NEVER check on my four babies when I get back, unless my spouse specifically requests that I do, because he thought someone was feverish or whatever. I assume that my husband is a competent, caring father who knows how to tuck his children into bed. We assume that when we tuck them in and close their doors that they are safe for the night.

Are you shocked enough yet! LOL

But... if you found the front door open in the middle of the night, you'd probably check on your babies, right after you closed the door, right? Not that you'd be a bad parent if you didn't, but it would probably be hard to fall asleep until you checked, right?

You are a brave woman,Val! This is a tough crowd.
