Today, I dined and dashed. Upon reaching my car, I realized I had left my seven year-old daughter in the restaurant. FML

Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. FML
Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML
Today, our family went out to a restaurant at night. My cousin and I needed to go to the restroom, so we told everyone before going. Less than three minutes later, we came out to find them gone, along with the cars. They forgot about their own kids. FML
Today, I dropped my daughter off at a concert where she was performing and went to look for parking. I got caught in freak traffic and it took me an hour to get back there. I missed her act. FML
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
Today, while at a restaurant, I watched in horror as my daughter picked a hair out of her food and continued eating it. FML
Today, I got a chance to have dinner and a movie with a girl I've liked for a while. I ran late, so in a hurry to make the movie, and trying to be smooth for her, I told the waiter I'd "take care of him" if he made it fast. He did. When he brought the check, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. FML
Today, while visiting family, we went to a restaurant to eat. Towards the end of the meal, I went to use the restroom. When I came back, everyone was gone. Everyone had actually gotten into their cars and left without me. I have no idea where I am and no one is answering their phone. FML

Maybe they took her as payment. She'd probably be better off than with you.

What kind of parent are you

Wow reading pages of shitty assholes rag on your parenting when all they've seen of you and you life is this one anecdote makes me say FYL. People need to grow up and realize parents mess up. Everyone does. Atleast it wasnt something so serious, the child was in no danger. everone that has a child or alot of interaction with children has messed up at somepoint, with leaving your son at the store or something serious like leaving your kid in the car on accident, worse; on purpose. So give the guy a break.

Yeah, give the guy who tried to commit a crime with his kid, then ditched his kid when he tried to run away a break. It's obvious that OP just made a simple mistake, and would never do anything stupid around his kid. Idiot. OP is scum, and defending OP makes you look stupid as well.

Also, consider this; if OP does something like this and thinks it's funny enough to post it online, what else does he/she do that they keep hidden from everyone else? When the 'one anecdote' is something like this, it's a safe bet OP is a bad parent.

People trying to make excuses always change the wording to make it sound like an accident instead of a bad but consciously-chosen decision. Like the OP had intended to do something else and only inadvertently committed a crime (and involved their child in it). If you can't bring yourself to actually talk about what the OP did and have to alter the wording to make it sound more palatable, maybe your point is too weak to stand on its own.
