I'm sorry. I don't consider taking care of my child a part of my "routine". They're not part of a check list. If I'm lumping in caring for my child with taking out the trash and making sure the coffee pot is off, then I probably shouldn't be a parent.
It's an issue of priorities, really. Are your kids priority #1 when they are in your care? If they are, then the fact that you have a meeting today should not be taking precedent over your 6 month old you are bringing to daycare. When you drop them off, feel free to change your focus. Etc, etc.
If you are incapable of putting them first, just say so...but don't blame being busy. We're all busy. All it takes is a little effort to prevent this needless "accident." Looking for excuses ahead of time seems like a recipe for disaster.

Agree on the priorities. I have a grown daughter whose children were never her priority. Maybe her brain was wired wrong, dunno!

Actually, assuming you are immune is what is called for in the recipe for disaster. Knowing how this could happen is exactly what everyone should be thinking about, preferably every time you take your child with you in a car. And these aren't excuses, they are causes.
