a child drowned

october 28 2007

Sometimes I consider myself lucky.

Have you read or heard about the baby of 9 months drowning in a bucket of bleach?

No?
Read it ::here::.

When the children were little I always kept a close critical look in my own actions.
All the doors were closed, I stayed with the children, and I never did anything to endanger them.

Someone told me it was wise to plan their sleepingtime during cooking, and so I did.

I often felt lonely.
When other mothers had their children in bed for a nap, I was playing with mine.
So no quick cup of tea on the gardenbench with one of the other mothers.

But my children never got burns from tea or coffee, never escaped from my eyesight.

I feel for the parents...

But why oh why was there a bucket of bleach in the house? A bucket???
