i think that's for trucks?

if the nanny was with the kids, that's even weirder. she coulda taken them to a park or a book store while david did the class. makes no sense.

^ we have them here for cars too. I figured CA having the eco conscious and crunchy rep would have too

So, if the nanny was with the kids, why did they have to sit in the car for over an hour? Why not leave the kids at home, or drop them off at a park/cinema/somewhere fun. Why does he think it's ok to have his kids sit and wait in a very confined space, while he does his workout. Even if it's not dangerous, it's rude to have anyone waiting on you in car for an hour.

Butterfly - I drive an 08 Land Rover and the unlock key is on the dash. I often leave it running with my daughter inside (she's 20 so no need to alert the authorities) and lock it. When I come out she kits the unlock button. Mine button is just above the nav system and there is one with the image of a lock to lock the doors and on with an image of an unlocked lock for unlock. The day after I bought the car I went to pick my daughter up from school and couldn't figure out how to unlock the door for her and had to turn off the car and then use the fob. LOL

Maybe they were going on to somewhere else afterwards and the kids were given the option of going to somewhere different while their dad worked out but chose to stay in the car. It's probably got built in dvd screens and the like and between that and hand held games it might be hard to budge them.

yeah, that makes sense. it might be a law and i don't know it. or maybe here they just rely on the local gladys kravits giving you stink eye if you idle your car for more than 2.5 minutes.

Well,sometimes the kids want to come for the ride but refuse to come with you where you go,mine did it many times..they stayed in the car with an adult looking after them,either i went to the dentist or shopping or in the bank or to pay bills.They had water and snacks,their music ,and they never complained.Some other times they came with me or with their father..no problem either way.Now,if he had left them there on their own,totally different story.Nanny could take them in to Daddy anytime they wished..i dont see the wrong here.

How do we know there was a nanny with them? The windows are tinted. You can't see anyone inside. All I heard was a woman continuously saying "Shut up."

**effie2** · July 18th, 2014, 02:42 PM

Ηis rep said so and some people also.

**Tater Tot** · July 18th, 2014, 02:48 PM

Wow, slow news day I guess.

Yeah, it's possible they would rather play with their iPads than run around in a park. Kids these days, eh. Now, get off my lawn!

This. X 1000
Can't people mind their own business? They say there was a nanny, so move along folks, there is nothing to be seen and be judgemental about. Ok, maybe the A/Cfor an hour.

Mine will sometimes ask if they can stay in the car with the airconditioning on while I do the grocery shopping. I say NO and make them come inside with me, but I suppose if money was no object and I didn't care about the pollution is caused, I might.

"David was the only man in the class, so of course all the ladies showed up during his time slot. No one seemed to mention the fact that his kids were sitting in the car out front, and one of them even defended David when we asked about it!"

How is it relevant that all the ladies were at the class, with the fact that nobody mentioned anything?
Is the writer of this article implying that, because they were ladies, they should have said something, while it is OK if men don't care?
Did he forget that the negligent dad in this story is Beckham?
