Her Mom Accidentally Left Her Baby In A Hot Car For 20 Minutes, But While Her Husband Is Furious, She’s Not Opposed To Letting Her Mom Watch Their Child Again
This 26-year-old woman and her husband, who is 34, have two kids together. Their daughter is 4 years old; meanwhile their son is just 7-months-old.
She and her husband also both work full-time. So, they put their daughter in preschool, and their mom watches their son while they are at work.
“My mom has always babysat our kids while we work. She frequently runs errands and is out and about and doing things for her sort of work-from-home job,” she said.
Just yesterday, though, her mom ran an errand and put her young son in serious danger.
It all began when her mom had to drive to the next town over to handle a work-related issue. It’s also important to note that it was a warm day, with temperatures hitting 87 degrees.
Anyway, her mom ran inside a building for about 20 minutes before heading back out to the car. And it was at that point that her mom was mortified– realizing that her young son had been left sleeping in the car.
“He was perfectly fine and still asleep. Never fussed, and he was happy when he got home,” she clarified.
Nonetheless, her mom was distraught over the mistake and was actually in tears while dropping her son off. It was clear that her mom knew she had seriously messed up.
Anyway, once her husband got home later that night, she filled him in on what her mom had done. Then, he checked their son over and was absolutely furious.

In fact, her husband was actually threatening to call the police– claiming that her mom should never get to watch their kids again since her mom was “negligent.”
“I was able to talk him down some,” she recalled. “But he still said my mom should not ever leave the house with our son again.”
Now, she realizes that the situation could have had a much worse outcome. She told that to her husband, too.
However, she’s thankful that they got lucky and her son was okay. She also believes that her mom made a mistake that she or her husband could have easily made.
“And I think he’s overreacting,” she admitted.
Well, her husband didn’t agree with her and actually accused her of not reacting enough. He also claimed that she didn’t care about their son’s well-being.
“He says we have to do something about it,” she vented.
So now, she’s not sure whether still being okay with her mom watching their son– even after what happened– makes her a jerk or not.
Can you understand why her husband doesn’t want to roll the dice again and risk her mom making the same mistake twice? At the same time, does it sound like her mom was extremely remorseful? If you were in her shoes, would you let your mom watch your baby again after this?
