Deranged. Ditch.

I remember hearing this one on Two hot takes. So if I remember correctly for those 2 hours she went shopping... For baby clothes amongst other things

The girl should be jail the baby could have have died for abandonment

What on earth. I doubt this is true, as one of the comments pointed out, someone would see an abandoned baby on a park bench and call the authorities. If this is true, the SIL is completely unhinged.

Leaving a baby alone then saying she wished the baby had been kidnapped is NOT okay. I'd be livid to and not attend the wedding. I'd remind the brother not to have kids with his fiancée. She could leave their potential kids in danger!

You're a b***h because SHE LEFT AN INFANT FOR 2 HOURS!!! THIS LOON NEEDS TO BE REPORTED!! Love your family, but my God! This nut case wishes your child was kidnapped?! What a loon! Run far far far away from these nut cases!

She leaves a baby unattended to chase after a dog, then tells the baby's mother that she wishes the baby had been kidnapped when called out on her negligence. That's a fvcking deal breaker, folks. The family siding with that b!tch is also a deal breaker. What is wrong with some people?

If that was my SIL she'd be 6ft under a patio by now.

Anyone who would down play something this serious should not only never be allowed to watch someone's child, but shouldn't be allowed to even HAVE children. It doesn't matter that your child wasn't kidnapped by a stranger, it's the fact that she didn't care enough to realize she forgot about your child. That's messed up on a whole other level! Your feelings are valid and people should understand where you're coming from as the mother.

NTA - I don't care how much SIL loves her pet - this is inexcusable! 2 hours?? 1st she leaves the baby on a bench, then forgets abt her?? Taking care of someone's child is a huge responsibility (& child endangerment is a crime - things like not making your children wear seatbelts can get you arrested & charged with child endangerment so surely abandoning an infant on a park bench would). Unbelievable that SIL would still think OP would attend her wedding ... & her vile explosion! Unforgivable - but then she thinks an apology will fix that & says she "needs" OP there, which I'm guessing translates as she's counting on OP to help with the arrangements. No way, no how, no wedding, & not much communication from now on. Maybe no forgiveness ever, even if SIL were to apologize every day, including some grovelling on the floor (maybe OP isn't quite as vindictive as I would be). As for the family members saying she was stressed & it was just an accident - stressed abt the beloved pet? abt the wedding? Come on! Accident? Wearing one blue sock & one black one is an accident. This is absolutely extremely poor, or no judgment, misplaced priorities, & negligence & those defending her would do well not to let her babysit for them.

BABY. Nope.

I'm wondering where you can leave a baby unattended in a park for 2 hours and it still be there when you come back for it.

A baby is always more important than an animal. Your first reaction is an okay excuse for running after the dog for say 1 min. Your not going to be in a state of panic for 2 hours. She picked her dog over the safely of a baby. She's can clearly never be trusted again, but if she was properly sorry about it I'd allow a relationship with her in the future. But saying that she hopes your baby was kidnapped? That's f*****g insane. You don't say that unless your pure evil. Her dog dying would have been 100% better then your child being kidnapped and if she can't understand and f*****g agree with that then she's a monster.

Futurę SIL should never have children because OMG, she left a baby unattended on a park bench for 2 hours and was chasing her dog. I'd never speak to her again. The fact that OPs brother is still marrying someone so irresponsible is ridiculous. This is not a forgivable incident. That baby could have been kidnapped or worse. Future SIL didn't give a damn about the baby as it was happening, like the baby was a bag of groceries and left alone on a park bench. Then afterward she realized what she did wrong OR she saw someone in the park she knew and confessed because she panicked when the person she might have seen also knew OP so she was worried she'd be told on. Five minutes is one thing if you keep the baby in sight but TWO HOURS? No excuse. SIL should NEVER breed. I still am in shock the brother would still marry her. And the fact that OPs parents defended future SIL shows they favored OPs brother and don't give a c**p about their grandchild.

Did I miss something where it said the SIL went back and found the child? Did the cops find it, a passerby?

This shouldn't even be a discussion. The SIL is a moron, I wouldn't trust her with my kid or dog. I would go NC forever!

Have you read how many times, this year alone, that people have left their babies to die in the back seat of their cars, because they forgot to drop them off at daycare? It's horrifying. So although I can't condone it in any way, I can, sort of, see how it happened. (Personally, I be constantly checking in the mirror at them all the time, but it appears others don't) New mothers through the generations will tell you of the first time they went shopping and walked home without the pram. If you're thinking 'not you' be honest with yourself. She straight away told you what she did. You would never have known. The comment about wishing she had been kidnapped was a childish lashing out at being verbally attacked. Be the bigger person. Go to the wedding. You don't have to let her babysit again, but at least your child is not one of those forgotten in the back of your own car.

I don't believe this is a true story.

Quite seriously and obviously fake! People use parks so somebody would have spotted a baby dumped on a bench!

You leave you children with someone without training it's your fault if you leaving your kids with family is a good way for abuse or neglect to happen if you don't know this you shouldn't have kids in the first place
