As a parent myself it always boggles my mind that people can forget that they have kids in the car with them. I'm always in dad mode when I have any kids with me, so I've never even come close to forgetting a kid in the car. Forgetting to grab the kid's backpack for school sure, but forgetting a whole child in the car?
The biggest thing that most of those people have in common is that they think it couldn't happen to them.
Before I had kids I would've been right there with you, but I am in a completely different mindspace anytime I'm caring for my kids than when I'm not.
When I'm in "dad mode" there's a significant portion of my attention that's constantly running through "Are the kids getting into trouble? When did I last see them? When were they last fed/watered/potty breaks? Are we about to pass something that they'll see and decide they need to go to and therefore cost more time/money than I've budgeted for this trip and should I be taking a different route to avoid it? When did I last observe the kids alive, has it been more than 60 seconds I need to check on them again..." And the only way to break out of dad mode is if somebody else has taken over active care/monitoring of the kids or if the kids are both asleep in their beds. It's a biological state that I seriously did not know was possible, and I simply can't turn it off.
So when I say I can't forget my kids in the car, this is what I mean, I'm so actively aware of my kids location and status at all times that I'm the primary caretaker that they can't even try to wander off in a park or store without my noticing
Yeah, I've got that too. But confidence leads to complacency. I've thankfully never had it happen when it mattered, but on a couple of occasions I've found myself not being hypervigilant when I normally would be. It's back on once I notice, but it only takes one slip up.
Most of these cases also involve a change in routine. You go about your normal day, feeling the way you normally do, because your mind has forgotten that something is different. Trusting your instinct to overcome that just isn't a foolproof plan. I mean there is no foolproof plan, but there's also no harm in taking a little extra precaution in your routine like putting your shoe or your wallet in the back seat.
I find that after having kids and seeing on the news what can go wrong, there is zero confidence in the kids or their surroundings. That's why I have confidence in myself that I would never forget them, because I'm always scared. 😆 Never let them out of my sight on a parking lot, e.g. They will just start running and you need to wrangle and holler. Hold their hand over a cross walk, etc etc etc.
