MY BABY WAS LEFT AT HOME.... ALONE
| Thu, 04-01-2004 - 6:03pm |
Let me tell you. Well, my husband owns his own company, so he picks the days he decides he wants to work. Well, today I was running late for work and I decided since he has been home all week, that he would want to stay home today. Well, I left him and my daughter alseep this morning. At 2:15 when I came home, my 11 month old daughter was in her playstation screaming. I looked around the house looking for him. He wasn't anywhere to be found. I cleaned her up, fed her, and loved on her a bit. I called his mom. I asked her if I should call the police? She said to wait a few minutes. Well, I did. By the time he walked through the door, I was steaming. He started cussing at me for leaving the baby with him because he had to work. So I jumped all over him. I told him how disappointed I was in him. How irresponsible that it was that he left her here. He exclaimed that he went to the post office. and was only gone for a few minutes and if I would've left the carseat here then he would've taken her with him. He doesn't understand the trama he might have caused our daughter. What could've happened the few minutes that she was left alone. I just don't understand what in the world he was thinking. How many times has he done this before? I guess the reason why I am writing this is because you never know who you can trust with your kids. What can I say to him to make him realize that what he did was wrong? Thank you.

I understand your frustration, but I do not have any answers. All I can say, is that it impossible to teach someone these basic innate skills, like, you do not leave your young kids home alone.
I usually take care of the kids, (and work full time too) and I just asked this little favor this one time. I had a mandatory meeting to goto in order to keep my license, and I could not miss it. The one day I did something, I get a call from the police, and my lawyer is reaming me out about my case.
To be honest with you, I just think women are the superior race, and we can handle more things and process more information then men can. When a man is confronted with this sort of challenge, it is like, it is out of their scope, and they just refuse to take resposibility.
I do not know that answers. I do know that these feelings are so intense, it is enough to want to kill someone.
