I use my debit card or don`t get gas. If I had to get gas and go inside, I would take the baby in. I would never forgive myself if I was too lazy to take the baby out and something horrible happened. It`s just not worth it in my opinion.

i have 3 kids under 4 and I dont think I have ever taken them out of the car to put petrol in the car and I always pre pay my petrol at the check out. i live in nz and it only seems to happen when parents are silly enough to not only leave doors unlocked but also leave keys in the egnition which i never do i always put the windows up almost all the way and lock the doors, our petrol stations have everything low enough to be able to see ur car no matter where in the store u are.

I always just pay at the pump with a credit card because i don`t want to walk away from the car.

I leave bub in the car and lock the doors and keep my eyes on the car while i walk in to pay. I would never leave the doors open!

I`m from Phoenix, AZ and out there every year, once or twice, somebody will steal a car at the gas station with the baby still in the car. Before I had my debit card I would just always take my boys out of the car and take them with me.

Pay at the pump! Or take her in with me! Ive heard too many nightmare stories about leaving children in the car whilst going in to pay! Asda (big supermarket in the UK) they have drive thru paying booths so u give ur money and stay in the car :-) x

credit card or wait until hubby is with you or take them out

I use a debit card and pay at the pump or not buy it when I have him. It`s too dangerous- danger of kidnapping of course, but once in FL a poor guy left his kid in the car and it was hit by someone out of control coming into the parking lot. That car hit his car and burst into flames. It was so tragic.

I would never ever leave my baby alone in the car, even if its for such a short trip.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
