Do you ever have that feeling like you forgot one of your kids behind? I get that way all the time! Every time I am driving or I'm in the passenger seat, I'm always doing double, triple, and sometimes quadruple checking to make sure both of my kids are in the back seat. Sometimes they are both so quiet that I suddenly panic and think, oh crap, did I forget one of them behind? Today I kept having this nagging feeling I forgot one of my kids behind and then it hit me, today is Wednesday, she's in school.
I totally understand being overly tired and forgetting things. But I don't understand how one could be so tired they forget their own baby?! I mean, you carry this baby within your body for nine months and during the last trimester they are there in your womb kicking you and poking you and stretching every which way to remind you that your baby is still there.
I read stories of women, and sometimes men, who leave their children behind somewhere. It seriously baffles me to no end. It also baffles me to hear of men and/or women beating their children. I don't understand child abuse. It's one thing I will never understand. How can someone just go and hurt their own flesh and blood? How can someone harm someone who is so defenseless and so young? It saddens me and angers me to hear of these stories. Animal cruelty is very close up there, too.
