To leave a 2 year old for 10 mins

[BlueSuedeStiletto]

2 year old asleep in a cot they can't get out of. Needed to pop to the shops. 10 minutes away if that, child asleep the whole time, doors locked etc. Friend is horrified. WIBU?

Sb74 brilliant totally agree!

😂

comedy gold indeed.

My DC are in their rooms, no collection required. DC1 at home from Uni and DC2 on study leave, he did go in to school for a a bit today though, he drove himself there and back. No-one has their PJs on.

Who is getting your 3 Hany?

I dont know what your talking about WaxOnFeckOff i dont have 3 children i have 4

Apologies, my mistake - and so.....?

And you need to know because......?

....because you've just slagged off people for going out to collect their children, you apparently have 4 DC with the eldest being 9 so at least one DC is school age. You've been on this thread all through school pick up time. And, as this is a thread all about leaving DC on their own, I wondered if your DC were making their own way home or if you had different arrangements in place - call me curious, but when you've been so vehement about what a brilliant parent you are and how you wouldn't leave yours alone it made me wonder.

It's obviously entirely up to you whether or what you answer, but you can fault my reasons for being curious and asking.

So, in very specific answer, I don't "need" to know and never said I did "need" to know, I asked a question and your reluctance to answer says more than enough.

Oh and to be fair, it was Sb74 that slagged them off, you just agreed. I have no idea whether Sb74 has school age DC.

If you really must know my dh there daddy is picking our kids up from school today or is that against the law for a mum to have a break from the school run or to have a hubby for that matter! I take it you dont have a hubby or partner to not realise! I just didnt know why i had to justify my family to you! And you have just proved my point about the bullying! Thats all to WaxOnFeckOff

@Hanywany

YABU for using 'hubby' 🤮

This isn't netmums, although I think you might find it easier over there

FFs How is asking a question bullying? I do have a husband (not a hubby...). It most certainly isn't against the law or surely I would have done many years in jail. My DH was a SAHD for a while. When he went back to work, I actually managed to hold a full time job and do the school run - go me!! No breaks from the school run for poor old me :(

Also, who has asked you to justify anything?

Anyway, I'm a away to make dinner - if you feel that I am bullying you please report my posts, I'd be perfectly happy to discuss anything with MNHQ. After dinner I might go on Twitter and talk about birds or on Facebook and talk about faces since we need to be very literal. You could also take the opportunity for you and sb74 to discuss your idea of only parents being allowed on this forum so that they should get rid of any sections where interlopers who don't have children might want to hang out.

Excuse me! So im not allowed to use the term 'hubby' bloody hell thats pathetic your an embarassment to yourself!

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving 🎣🎣🎣

Their dad is picking my two up. Thanks for caring.

I'm an embarrassment to myself 🙂

Says she arguing with the entire world 😂

Oh and btw it's 'you're'

Yemen, if it makes you feel better, you put me down! I’m very much in the top 2% of IQ. Your analogy was very weak and you have demonstrated you don’t even understand your own implications.

For heaven’s sake, it wasn’t my analogy. I was explaining someone else’s to you. You’re not doing your genius cause any good. Nobody has called you a racist.

This thread is painful.

*genius cause

😂😂

The grammar and spelling from some posters is more offensive than the pure shite they’re spouting.

Well this escalated quickly

Yemen, I’m not interested enough to know who wrote the “analogy” and I certainly don’t need you to explain it to me. I don’t have any “cause”, I can’t help it if I’m highly intelligent. You obviously have inferiority issues, which is understandable.

As usual, the thread has turned into a slanging match, unrelated to the original “debate” that was raised. Mind you, that’s not such a bad thing as it was totally ridiculous subject in the first place.

Donald, is that you??

Wow.

Hany, no one, and certainly not me, has tried you get you to change your mind about whether you'd leave a child alone or not. We have asked you to stop being rude and nasty. There's a big difference.

Also, at no point have I tried to give you "advice". I wouldn't do that even if I DID have kids as I don't know you (for which I am grateful). I simply stated that I personally didn't see the big deal. I then had a sensible rational discussion with the other adults on this thread. I also admitted I may change my mind when I have my own kids.

Desist!

Perhaps we should build a wall round Mumsnet to keep out all the non-parents?

Do you get kicked off when your youngest turns 18? Then you can join Gransnet when you are a gran I guess. But, what do normal folk do in the interim? You know, the people who haven't got a grandchild older than their youngest DC?
