What is your opinion on parents who forget their children in the car?

Liars.

I don't have kids, but I would think another life, and especially one helped create, would be more important than anything in the world.

Do you think you could ever make this mistake? And if so, could you live with yourself afterwards?

I cannot imagine being so absentminded as to leave my child in the car. Assuming you mean live with myself after the child died in a hot car? Hell no I couldn't.

It's just a kid, you can make another one.

I've never even forgotten my cell phone in the car. I can't imagine forgetting a kid.

Opinions on this topic fall into two camps:

non-parents: they're idiots
parents: they're human

I read an article a while back that I think was actually posted here that went into the psychology of it. You're going through your day in auto pilot. You do one thing differently. Out of the ordinary you have to take the baby in the morning to drop it off at daycare instead of the SO. And your mind doesn't keep up. You make one horrible life changing frick up. Some of the people who do this seem to be perfectly loving parents. I do feel really bad for them. I'm sure some of them are simply shite bags though.

They are forgetful.
