Does it happen in Ireland as well?

  1. I’ve left my we’en out in the front garden if she’s fallen asleep on a walk, but I probably wouldn’t abandon them in the woods like that…

  2. I don’t care if you live in the safest part of the world, leaving a baby by themselves outside is an absolutely moronic thing to do.

  3. If you leave your baby outside in ireland it is presumed tht you want rid if it, like broken washing machines and old mattresses and someone will come and collect it within the week.
    This tradition dates back to the early 1600’s.

  4. In Ireland I wouldn’t worry about someone stealing my daughter, I’d be more concerned about coming out to get her and finding a group of fawning old women screaming in her face and pinching her cheeks – she wouldn’t get a minutes rest for em!
