Why my Parenting License should be revoked:

Posted Wednesday, March 26, 2008 1:28 PM

I am so terrible and I shouldn't be allowed to parent a child after this!  I left with my cousin for the doctor's office yesterday, saying bye to my pups before heading out.  It wasn't until about 3 hours later that I suddenly realized that when I said bye to the dogs, I only saw one of them.  So I started freaking out that I left the other one outside.  She's really small and can fit through the fence slots if she really wants to, but deep down I thought I was just being ridiculous.  But I still called 411 and got my neighbor's phone number and called them to see if Ireland was outside.  Sure enough, I left her out!  I felt miserable.  They brought her inside their house and I rushed home to pick her up.  How horrible!  What's even worse, I'm keeping the secret from my husband.  He'd freak out on me.

I gave Ireland so much loving when I got home.  I don't think she's mad at me, but she did act very needy last night, and she won't stay outside like she usually does.  As soon as I come in, she's running in right behind me.  I'm so terrible!  Dear Lord, please do not allow me to leave my house without my newborn or something insane like that!

Oh no, you will be fine.  If for no other reason that every time you leave with your baby, you won't forget him, there is only one.  This stuff happens to the best of people.  I swear to you that one of my friend's parents left her in a hotel parking lot in Florida leaving to come home to Missouri.  Her sister was the one who finally told her Dad to turn around and go get Nicole because she was running after the van.  For the most part, these people were very good parents.

Awww, don't worry, it happens to all of us from time to time... Once I closed the front door, and Scooter was in between that and our screen door (only for about a minute and a half before i realized). You won't forget your baby though, you'll be fine!

This happens all the time...dont worry! And I dont think youre going to be a bad mommy because of this incident! One Sunday my husband let out our dog in the back and ran back upstairs to get in more sleep time...we slept in really late that day only to find our dog was out running around the neighborhood like a lunatic!  We felt really bad, something could have happened to him and we were being lazy upstairs.  We all make these mistakes but we learn from them.  Dont mean to be rude, but its so funny how your little puppy now follows close behind to prevent being left outside...that's too cute! You're going to be fine at mommy-hood, just watch!

Fortunately animals can pretty much take care of themselves as long as they are given food and water.  The thing I find hard to do is remembering to take care of myself.  Once I gather all of DD's belongings, have her strapped in the car seat and on my way out of the garage, that's when I realize I don't have my cell phone, coat, or something else I should have, but DD is there with everything under the sun.  I did forget a nipple for her bottle yesterday, but fortunately I was able to BF some myself, so everything worked out okay.  Better to make mistakes now than later.  You'll be fine.
