To take them with me?

[Geckos48]

So my husband is away at the moment, he 'doesn't know' if he will be back tonight.
I've had to mess work around already this week and I dont think they could cope with me missing my shift tonight :(

My calls are in an incredibly rural location and its really safe round here.
WIBU to take the children? Make a little 'nest' in the back of the car and give them their bottles and put them down to bed in the large boot of our people carrier?

I could dress them up warm and I would only be out for around 2hours with them, checking back regularly and driving inbetween calls every half an hour or so?

I dont know what else to do!

Er, what? No you cannot put your babies in the boot of your car and go to work. Is this a joke thread?

This was posted last night. If you read the thread you will see that she cancelled work.

You will also see other things that have been posted and are now been picked up on.

I am more concerned that she says that she hates them.

But I am sure that Geckos can post some words really quickly and think that she can get out of that too.

Right. Let me guess.
She may say

saying she hates them is a figure of speech
saying she hates them. Well she doesnt really hate them exactly, just what it has all become
she said she hated them because she felt a bit stressed at the time
yes she hates them, but so do some other people

Actually, now I posted that I realise how easy it is to do.
It is about making excuses to try and cover things up or to backtrack. Anything, to try and not make mud stick.

Everyone else try it on this thread. It is surprisingly easy. Doesnt make yourself feel great though, I have to say.
Easier and nicer imo to fess up.

No, the HND I completed years ago is very different to the NVQ I completed a few months ago.
Again, I had a moment of madness yesterday, was questioning my options and that is where this thread comes from.

I am not 'justifying poor parenting' because I am not a 'poor parent and I don't believe that leaving my kids Ina car for 5 minutes makes me one.

Nor do I believe the many people who have pm'd me in the last day to say they have done similar are poor parents.

Give over have you had many PMs saying people have done similar!

There have been 2 threads in the last 2 weeks where oodles of posters have been telling the OP's to call 999 or 101 when they have seen a child left in a car, in a car seat, in broad daylight!

This is the thread about the burnt breast, reason I didn't ask because I have already read this.

ha ha ha ha supportive pm's ha ha ha ha ha

Yes, lots of people leave their kids in the car while they pop in the shop/get petrol. It does not make you a bad parent.

You still didn't answer ltevedallas -

"Would you leave £25,000 in £20 notes, unattended on the front seat of your car?

No?

Are your kids worth less than that?"

I'm sorry geckos but reading through your threads, I think you have a problem, your a compulsive liar, you can't keep up with the stories you tell & you seem to need attention, hence threads like these.

It may not make you a bad parent but in my opinion unless you can see the car the whole time and very quick (ie paying for the petrol but not getting anything else) then that is a bad parenting decision.

You were asked yesterday what you would do if when dropping shopping to a client with the children in the car you discovered them dead/injured - you still haven't managed to answer that either.

You are justifying poor parenting,as I said before you yourself have said that 2-3 times a week you leave your children in an unlocked car while you go shopping in a petrol station,you have left them unattended with biscuits,you leave them in the car while you put shopping away for other people and said it's good for children to get distressed.and you had to come on the internet to get a bunch of strangers to reassure you that it was acceptable to go to work while driving said children round on your car at night unsecured in the boot of your unlocked car leaving them to sleep alone in the dark and cold.
You said that,not me,not anyone else on this thread.You.
If you think those things are acceptable,yes you are a poor parent,couldn't care less how many people pm you to tell you otherwise.
You do not sound like you have the ability to put your own childrens safety first,and you are going to be a social worker someday?
Speechless!

Lots of people pop into pay for petrol.

What you were suggesting is much, much worse than that. Children know what you suggested is wrong.

You post nasty things about other people, you come across as incredibly judgemental and sanctimonious and yet you suggest doing this!

I wouldn't leave my kids in the car while I paid for petrol because I wouldn't leave my hand bag on the seat.

I can't see how I have done anything but answer the questions put to me. My 'story doesn't add up' is ridiculous because this is my life and though it's not black and white it is real.

I think people on this forum just want to see the worst in people and I think that has a lot more to do with them than with me.

No OP, it says a lot about you that you call the McCanns an offensive name, mnhq delete your post and yet you still continue to be offensive by saying they've made a career out of what has happened.

No, I think some folk might have seen your many, many attacks and judgements on the McCanns and are therefore being less tolerant than usual. Some posters attract less tolerance than others.

No, Geckos, you post offensive, nasty posts about people. You judge people based on their job and call them names and accuse the of things based on that job. You make assumptions about people and post them on here.

It says an awful lot about you, and tbh I am glad you are venturing into different areas to do it, because it will make so many more people see what some of us have been seeing for months!

'The many posts you've made judging the mccanns' you mean on the two threads I have posted my opinion of their conduct on? Okay then...

See I believe people deserve tolerance regardless of what they may or may not have done. I have strong opinions but I have never and would never allow that to affect my professional mindset.

I'm actually gob smacked at this thread.

I don't think the op sees anything wrong in her original post or subsequent ones.

It's worrying that you may become a social worker one day, really worrying!

And the ones that got deleted I presume. And it was many attacks and comments or you wouldn't have stood out so much.

I can imagine what state you'd have left me in over the last few days, had you been my carer. Emergencies happen, and alot more for people that use carers, by definition. What would she have done if she was faced with my situation? Homeless and stranded disabled, with a 3 yr old. I shudder to think. Luckily, my carers have been working round the clock...

Btw no care visit is 5 mins, a minimum of 15mins is awarded and usually packed full of essential tasks. 15 mins is never enough and leaves the service user choosing between being helped to the bathroom or asking for a drink etc. Add this context of carer into that... It's leaves me leaving very vulnerable and concerned.

Ps to the person that called me a "intolerant thoughtless selfish git" for suggesting I'd be reporting someone who turned up with their mind not on the job (job - essential lifeline for vulnerable people), and with a sick/ contagious child alone in her car... Thanks for that.
