I've been fucking tired as all hell, but a) I would not be driving a car with my child in it if I was so tired that I would forget I had a child. The fuck? That's it. There's no b). I would also fall asleep before I would forget I had a child. I cannot believe people really need a "trick" to help them remember they have a child. I just cannot relate.
I hope you're thankful for a lifestyle where you have that option. We should all strive to build a world where everyone does.
I mean, taking the bus should be an option in most cases, or? Maybe I'm inconsiderate right now?
In most US cities, no, it's not an option. But we should work to make it an option :)
In most cities in the US? That's crazy to me as a European lol. I guess I was acting privileged then.
Nah, you good. There's no way for you to know without way too much time investment.
New York, San Francisco, and maybe Chicago have workable systems. Atlanta's right on the edge, I would say. San Francisco seemed the best by far, but it still wasn't perfect. It also helps that San Francisco is tiny. I haven't been to Seattle or Portland, though. Maybe those are better
The smaller cities have super trash transit, mostly because they're too spread out
You mean area wise? 😅 Population wise it's like 8 times the size of my city...
Hahaha yeah, area. It's roughly 11km x 11km. Much easier to have frequent transit in that small area. Most US cities are way bigger
Right, okay, yeah! 😅
Plenty of place don't have buses in the states

This article is worth a read. I think that anyone who says "I could NEVER...." are the exact people that are playing with fire. I don't have children, but I still get anxiety thinking about what would happen if I did and any number of variables came up at the wrong moment in time.
This is not an attack on you. This article really helped me understand a situation where it isn't some irresponsible person just leaving their kids alone for hours to get Botox assuming the car will stay on and cool. Humans are humans, and it's sickening and devastating to think about how a simple mistake, a hiccup in the brain, could lead to the death of your own child.
Great article and one I always share when this argument comes up. It can happen with one simple mistake.
I wish I could read it—it's paywalled. 😞
I gotcha ^^
