Ok, so the day started out fine. Get the kids ready for the twins first dr appt. I had everything ready, everyone in the kitchen to put in the car. Well I take Freddy out in the garage to the car and for the split second I put him in, Abby shuts and deadbolts the door!!! I start to lose my mind, keep in mind she has NEVER even touched the door locks or anything for me to worry about. I first kick in the cat door and I am on my back talking to her and explaining to unlock the door, as she looks at me like she has no idea what I am saying.
I first talk to her calm then I turn to anger because I can hear Maddy in there crying, I had given my mom my house key when she was watching Abby while I was in the hospital and forgot to get it back from her. Abe had his at work with him in Hollywood........... so needless to say I had a panic attack which did not help and I was freaking out, Abe told me to break one of the windows so I tryed and the windows would not break. I guess that is a good thing!!!!
I then just thought I would try a screwdriver and pry and break the wood around the deadbolt and it worked!!!!! She must have just been about to lock it half way, thank the Lord!!!!!! I now have one of my foam door stoppers to use for it from now on, but I will tell you I have never in my life been so scared and helpless!!!!! I felt like the worse mother ever the whole day!

Oh I can relate. When Kailey was about two I locked her in the truck at the doctor's office. I too tried to get her to not only unlock the door, but first get herself out of her carseat... Right! Like that was gonna happen. Then I started to panic and she saw me and then she started to cry, and then I panicked more. Finally, a nice young man saw me frantic and helped me get into my truck. I know the feeling of helplessness and I still feel guilty about it... even six years later. Hang in there Julie.
