    That’s sad and terrifying that it could happen. Baby probably fell asleep on the drive home and grandma probably forgot it was a day she picked baby up

        Just put an elaborate check list.

        Then promptly feel like you’re wasting your own time doing the check list everyday.

        Then think you’re too good for the check list.

        Then get surprised when your kid is dead.

            Or, alternatively, do meth

            (jk, but I hear good things about Adderall)

              You actually can get methamphetamine to treat your ADHD. It goes by the brand name “Desoxyn.”

              Adderall isn’t methamphetamine, it’s amphetamine.

              And Concerta/Ritalin aren’t methamphetamine, they’re methylphenidate.

      Once or twice when mine was a baby, she fell asleep, and I began to walk away after parking. I didn’t make it more than a few steps, but the guilt and panic were real.
