Child abandonment
>> Saturday, 1 May 2010
Christ... Tamsin takes bike to bike shop and I take daughters to swimming lesson. I forget the swimming bag. Daughter has swimming costume on under clothes. They know the ropes so, dazed and preoccupied, I suggest that they go round to the entrance and into swimming themselves while I zoom home in the car to pick up the bag.
Walking back to the car a nagging feeling comes across me and I realise that I'll be too late with the bag to be of any practical use and return to the swimming club.
Which is locked.
No swimming today. I just narrowly missed leaving two eight year olds in the middle of town by themselves for half an hour.

4/10 I realise that many other people woudl have scored this more highly. But frankly, this is about the level of my parenting on a good day. Also, my neices are freakishly bright, and there is a small part of me that is a little evilly frustrated you realised in time and we didn't get the full story.
Just realised how bad this makes me look as an aunt. So I'm increasing the score to a 7.
2/10 for spelling.
Typos. TOTALLY different to spelling mistakes.
