Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

it's the little thingsFor thier own sanity my parents did a number of little things to contol our lives.
1. Even though they could not stand the Archers it was turned up rather loud every day to block out the sound of the ice cream van.
When I eventually heard it I was told "the nice man who owns the van likes to play music for everyone"
2. even after continuous requests I was not taught ot tell the time until I was 7 or 8 so that my parents could start pretending to be tired at around 5.30pm and cart me off to bed for the night.
This may be more to do with my stupidity.
