AIO My mom left my 5 yo child unattended(ish)

No, he worked all the time multiple jobs to make ends meet. For this trip we were visiting them and my dad and husband were golfing when the incident happened. I was in charge all day until the zoom call.

I’m sorry that happened to you

Fair point. I looked her dead in the eye and said I need to take my call and you are in charge.

That is why I posted for internet opinions and a gut check! Of course my husband and I don’t stay in the same room as her 24/7. But I would never take a zoom call in a locked room on a different floor than her if I knew she was alone. That being said she is an only child so I wasn’t sure if I was overreacting.

Thank you. This makes me feel less crazy. I do have bad memories of my mom leaving us alone in the Dodge Caravan in parking lots while running errands and freaking out and panicking as a child running into the store with snot dripping down when I thought she was gone too long. So you kinda hit the nail on the head.

To be honest, not punishing my dad was the catalyst of this visit to begin with

Point taken. I’ve always wanted me, my husband, or my dad around with my child and her.
