Published on 03/09/2019
A mother of a 5-year old son recently went to Reddit to share a post about leaving her son home alone. The woman says she left her son at home with chicken nuggets in the oven so she could quickly pick up something to satisfy her cravings. However, when she returned, she found her fiancé home. He was upset that their 5-year-old son had been left alone while the oven was on. The mother says that she feels degraded and belittled over a small little thing.
