In a world with so much technology and opportunities available to us when did our priorities change?
Was it when we fell in love, got married, had children?
We're all guilty of it, if you say your not - you're lying to yourself.
I'm only saying this because I had a friend tell me about a situation she came upon this week.
She walked out of a store to see a baby in a stroller all wrapped up in the heat..no mom to be found. She waited for 15 minutes before a "Mom" appeared from the parking lot. Apparently she went to take things to her car (minus the baby) and took a phone call.
Are we so distracted by the almighty cell phone text or call we need to put our precious children at danger from heat stroke, kidnapping by validating our actions with.....
But I have a phone call!
Slow down people..think real hard...
1) That's what voice mail is for
2) texting and "looking" at texts is illegal while driving (besides it can wait..seriously..it can) unless you're willing to "accidentally" run over my son or daughter while you weren't looking. I'm not willing to do that to your child.
3) If your toddler is begging you to go potty..put down the Blackberry, stop "Face booking" your toddler just peed on the floor and deal with it.
Life is short and precious...step back and let the machine get it.
By the way...my friend said she gave it to that mother for leaving her baby on the hottest day by herself..let alone for 15 mins.
What would you do?
