This happened to me several times. I quit work to be a stay-at-home mum and there are almost 4 years between my children.. so by the time my youngest was at nursery and I had time to pop into town for something, I would turn to take his hand, and get that panicky feeling something was missing... since for 7 years I'd always had a child with me. I rarely left them with anyone, because I didn't need to.... so yeah, I understand that completely.
Also.. the guy with the car alarm going off... he was in the article from the link. God knows what goes through his mine now..
