You make good points, and I should've worded things differently. I was thinking mostly when you're out in public, and when the parent in question is the only one taking care of the kids at that time. In your own home, you've had the opportunity to make things as safe as you can, and I don't feel like you need to have eyes on your kids every second.

And of course parents need their own lives and interests, there's nothing wrong with leaving the kids with your partner/spouse if you have one, or a trusted babysitter, and going out with friends to get away from time to time. And you're right that kids need time away from their parents to develop and grow.

But while you're the sole caregiver for the kid(s) and you're in some public place, you can't just say "oh, they're driving me nuts, I need a break" and go on Facebook on your phone and not pay attention to them and then when one gets kidnapped say "OMG I only looked away for a second, how could this have happened?!"

Ah okay, I see what you're getting at, and yeah, I do definitely agree in that case. Mistakes happen, but when you're out and about with a small child, they really do have to be the center of your attention.
