Newspaper/Mark Large  On hearing that David Cameron accidentally
left his eight-year-old daughter behind in a Buckinghamshire
pub, many parents will have tutted disapprovingly. Not me.
Tutting is a luxury only afforded to people who haven't done
something similar.  My own shameful lapse happened when our
three children were small, the youngest of an age still measured
in weeks, but I remember it well enough: after an exhausting and
largely unsuccessful trip to the market, my wife is ready to
give up, but I am determined to visit the fish shop.  "I'm
taking these two to the playground," she says. "Meet us there."
