My husband was with my 8 year old and 5 year old, and I had the 3 year old. I parked the stroller and proceeded to the attraction. I walked about 50 feet before realizing, I didn't take him out of the stroller. OOOPS! He was sitting there happy as can be. hey,

Just hasn't happened yet. Seriously, my greatest fear right now is that on one of my trips to the supermarket I'm going to load my car with the groceries and drive off, leaving my 5 month old daughter in the parking lot, still strapped to the shopping cart. Mommy brain can be terrible! Ohhh, that’s got my name written all over it, too. Just hasn’t happened yet.

I have 4 kids, remember? To this day I'll be riding down the road and get this panicky feeling that I've left a kid somewhere. I'll start screaming, "Maddie (my 8 yr old), do a head count!"

I guess I have the opposite problem. I have days where I'm sitting at the computer and I suddenly panic and think "oh no, I didn't get Zoe!" and then I remember I did get her and I gave her lunch and put her down for a nap!
