Some of you guys never knew what is was like to actually live life. Ride in the beds of trucks everywhere. Ride bikes anywhere. Alone. OP, I'm pretty shocked this number of people thinks it's silly and dangerous to allow kids that age to sit in a car while mom isn't in it Any other day it's just the opposite. Weird.
No shite. That was my childhood. Yeah, I had to let my parents know roughly where I was, but since I never lied to them, they didn’t give a shite. It’s all about the trust.

I don’t think there is some magic number for a kids age where this is acceptable. However, during COVID I would have done the same thing; less people are out roaming and I’m not going to just expose my kids if I think they are mature enough
Of course there isn't. Every kid is different, every neighborhood is different.

When are kids old enough to walk to school / ride their bike? Is there a magic number for that?
My kid is 7 and she walks home from school to her grandmother's. She is walking with older kids though, and the gmaw lives like 4 houses down from the school. I walked home sometimes when I was in 7th grade. It was stupid though, because we didn't have to walk and it was like an hour walk. My buddy was getting to third base at a stop on the way home though, so we walked.

Why the hell do you keep saying this, like I said this was not ok? You are just making shite up. My daughter is riding her bike down the street as we speak.
Because I don’t see any difference between that and trusting them in a cranked car for 5 minutes.

I was always left in the car with the windows rolled down
My mom used to say she didn’t want to waste gas and leave me in the car with no keys and the windows down. In New Orleans.
I’m not saying my mom was right, but OP’s kids were just fine.

Jesus fricking christmas on a cracker. In the early 70's my mom would leave us in the Lakeside Mall in Metairie parking lot for 1-2 hours, no air, in the heat of summer yet somehow we survived. It sucked- and I still give her shite about lol- but come on, man. When did we get to be such gaping vaginas that Karen needs to call the cops on a Mom getting groceries for 10 minutes?
Liberal ideation is the AIDS of our time. It is a retarded perfectionism that always leads to extremely stupid endings.

But they were never dumb enough to leave me in the car and leave the car running. That's nuts.
When you remote start the car it cannot be put into gear.
Ah, I didn't know that. I think I'd still be nervous, but that helps a lot.

Karen is an idiot, but, Why couldn’t your lazy arse take care of the kids?

I've tried to give my kid some freedom and try to ignore all of the old ladies on Nextdoor posting about a strange vehicle on their street.
It will never be like the 1980s and prior I'm afraid but kids need to learn some independence. In my mind, 8 years old is old enough to watch your little brother for 10 minutes in a parking lot. Good grief people.

She’s was on the way back from picking them up from the grandparents. But my lazy arse was at home having a beer.

So as long as someone calls the cops all would be fine? I've actually seen someone steal a vehicle, at a gas station, with a kid in it, while the mother went inside to pay (that's less than a 5 minute trip by the way). They then wrecked the car, with the kids in it. So you can sit here and pretend it can NEVER happen, but it most certainly has, and I witnessed it.
With remote start the car can’t be put into drive without the key
With my car I leave a portion of the fob in the car & take key with me
They could bust my windows but can’t steal the car

It would be safer to leave your kids alone at home than in a running car at a grocery store.
Would it? How many people are walking through a parking lot at any given time? Do you think your average citizen will look at someone breaking into a cranked car with kids in it would do nothing?
What’s the worst thing a kid could do to that car? Throw it into reverse or neutral and damage another car? A kid alone in a house could easily light it on fire.

I think I would be comfortable leaving a 3rd grader in a car while I was grabbing something quickly if I thought they were occupied. But I would also leave one of my cell phones with them to keep them occupied and to be able to call if something were to happen.

I don't necessarily agree that those kids can't be left in the care, but you're a fricking idiot with this mental gymnastics

You and your wife sound like tards but so does the other lady.

quote:Welp, I had a Karen do that shite to me. Left 3 kids in a locked, air conditioned car playing on their electronics. Ran into Home Depot for something small. Was checking out when I heard the description of my car over the PA. Bitch has gone to the store manager and tried to start shite. At least she didn’t call the cops on me. Oh, and FWIW, kids were ages 9 to 11–plenty fricking old enough to sit in a goddamn locked car.
How old does the OT think kids Should be to be left alone in an air conditioned car for a few minutes?

What mental gymnastics? Assuming that most people are decent and would stop a child abduction if they saw one? My mental gymnastics better be true there, or else we’re fricked.
