I'm fuming and offended at the utter lack of responsibility. How often stay-at-home parents are looked down upon as having an easy job. It is NOT easy to care for kids. It can be a tedious pain to unload groceries while also unloading children from the car and making sure they are safe and secure while you handle household tasks. It's a bother to try to get any chore done while also tending to a baby, toddler, or pre-schooler.It crossed my mind that perhaps he’d left the garage door open, but still he cannot be absolved.
Even if that would have spared her from a carbon monoxide death, WHO would even bother to put the groceries away BEFORE securing your baby in your home?
I’ll wager that there are at minimum one crib and one playpen in the house. He could’ve safely brought her indoors and placed her in either of those if he needed a few unencumbered minutes to unload groceries.
After. After his daughter was safe. After.
IMO
It's impossible to get everything accomplished at home some days, but the priority is always the safety of the kids....not playing video games while relying on "car alerts" to monitor a child left alone in a car.
