# To be fair
At first I thought the same thing. But from what I've heard, the restaurant were only a few yards away, and they were checking up every half hour.


I'm not a parent. But I do realise that it's a damn tough job, with a hell of a lot of responsibility. And I don't know how often they left their kids in a similar situation, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was their one break in God knows how long. And I can't hold that against them, because I can't say with absolute conviction that I wouldn't have done the same thing. Hindsight is 20/20, and everyone thinks that that type of thing only happens to someone else.

# I hear you, but I don't give the benefit of the doubt. You just don't do it
a 3 yr old needs minding, not checked in on.

# Fair enough
Like I said, I'm not a parent, and things like this is one of the reasons I don't want to be just yet. I'm smart enough to know I'm not responsible enough.

# you get responsible real quick when you have your own

I think it's clear what camp I fall into!

# Being a parent isn't something that you can just 'turn off'
when you want a piss-up. It's a commitment you make, from the birth until they are old enough to look after themselves (not fucking 3 y/o) You are responsible for them 100%. If you can't do that, you shouldn't have kids.

Anyway, why were the kids not at the dinner with them? Holidays are for the family to enjoy.

# ^this
You have your meal as a family all together, and then go get drunk with your wife/husband with duty-free rum on the hotel room balcony whilst watching the sun set.
