We have all been fed up with our children but to leave the child there and call the police when she got home and pretend that the child was missing and not discarded?  They are kids - and yes they get on nerves but her children didn’t deserve to be thrown out like that.  I hope this mother is found to be mentally unstable and not that uncaring……..I hope she gets the help she needs - before she is allowed to see her children again.  Let’s also think about what might have happened if a pedophile walked by instead of a kind stranger who brought the child to the police station.  And last - where is the husband on all of this?

I did earn more than my husband before we were married just because of the industry I was working in.  It was not an issue for either of us.  When we were just about to be married, my husband noticed that I was no longer enjoying the pressure filled, high paying job I had and suggested it was more important to him that I be happy.  After much thought, with his total support, I decided to give up my job for a lower paying, less pressure filled position.  In our case, this was a good decision because after having been in a previous marriage that produced no children, I almost immediately got pregnant after I was married this time.  I had always believed that I couldn’t get pregnant but was lucky enough to get pregnant pretty quickly at 35 years old.  Nine months after my first child was born, I was pregnant with a second child. Neither of us has ever looked back.  My husband makes a good living and we have two wonderful children.  I really think he would have been fine with whatever decision I made.
