Been there. Done that. Never, ever meant to. And you're right. Worse than anything.

Not that I have disappointed them much.
Though, the only time I really remember it happening is when my nephew wanted to go to me to escape nap time when he was about 1 something, and then calling my name in the way babies do, incorrectly but cutely, that tore me up.

Other time was when me and my niece were having fun, and then they had to go, I buckled her in the car seat, with her thinking I was still tagging along. Dangit, that tore me up too...
