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.)

Not So much bad parenting but......its a terrible trick to play on your children.
Imagine this, your car is filthy, coated in mud and you need it cleaned for free, what do you do?
Get 2 of your children to clean each side of the car and say there is a prize waiting for the person who does the best job (finishing with the cleanest side) . Then when they have done washing the car, just say there is no prize.
Oh dear, my lads went into a terrible mood after that, I promised them sweets but never bought them, Oh Well.
