It seems like ever week or so we hear another tragic story in the news about a parent that forgot they had their child in the backseat and when they finally remembered it was to late to save the child. This is so incredibly sad and I know some folks automatically say how could any one ever forget that the had the child with them. Lets be honest, I seriously doubt there is a parent anywhere that hasn’t had a day when there was so much going on that they became absent minded trying to get it all done. I am not saying that all parents forget their child is in the car but I think for the most part parents can understand how it could happen.
I never did leave one of my kids in the car but I can admit to letting the dog out into the backyard and then totally forgetting it was out there for a couple of hours. No tragic story but I felt super bad about it at the time. So I know we all have our moments. Double The Batch shares her tip for how to never forget that your child is in the back seat.
