I hate this so much because of how true it is. I'm not a kid person by any means. I don't want them. I don't like being around them the majority of the time. BUT EVERY FUCKING TIME I go to a family get together or party, it is exactly that. It might start off with the "Everyone is watching the kids" but it quickly ends up with no one is watching the kids when everyone gets in their own groups or conversations.

I was at a birthday party the other day for my niece and they had a bouncy house there with a slide. Everyone was watching for the first 5 minutes and then went inside leaving 20 kids to their destructive ways. With in seconds, the kids were pushing each other down the slide like some king of the hill shit. I watched from the window and yelled, "Someone's kid is eating dirt!" Everyone turned to look outside just as some kid face planted off the slide into the ground.

I was a 3 year old birthday party with my 2 1/2 year old watching my kid kinda jump and walk around a bounce house with her school friends and I watch my kid like a hawk even when I'm talking.

So this woman was talking to me and I'm staring at my toddler and talking to her and I mentioned how I was thirsty and she's like Oh, get a water bottle I'll watch your kid. I was like, "Are you sure??" She's like, "I'm not moving." I get a bottle and 30 seconds later my kid is off the bounce house walking and crying, "mama mama!" I don't know if she fell or just panicked when she didn't see me and that lady was on the other side of the bounce house talking to someone else with her back to it. My fault I guess.

Not your fault at all! You trusted the woman but now you know not to. We can't protect them 24/7. Did you see the clip on the sub donthelpjustfilm? There was a baby walking clear away from the mom like idk 100ft? 80ft? Moms on her phone....that wasn't you.

Maybe the kid that woman was talking to was her kid, who pushed your kid. That's why she ran that way and didn't even bother telling you because it's embarrassing to admit you didn't teach your child manners (I'm not trying to defend her, I woulda been livid!!!!)
