I hate that I do it because my kids are very important to me and I know her value.I just get on my way to work with my mind in different places.I should also add that I have anxiety disorder.
I totally understand forgetting sometimes. We all do it. We are all human.
The difference between you and other forgetful parents is that you are obviously open to communicating.
9 out of 10 times a little communication would have solved the issue entirely.
It's the parents who forget because they don't care, respect and/or appreciate their provider that we vent about.
