These always make me cringe. I leave the oven on, forget to lock the door and lose my car keys. This was my nightmare. Now they are way to old not to just open the door and get out. But I do believe some of these parents are just over committed abnd over tired. And they probably are ready to throw themselves off a cliff.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
