This is a question Terrible Parenting

My 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.)

questionable parenting
My mother is insane. I figured it out about grade 3 when she told me she was taking me to the doctor to have my head cut open to see what was inside. I remember it was a Wednesday at 3 and when it didn't happen I knew she was full of shit for the first time. After that I didn't believe anything she said. When I was 5 They adopted my brother who was left handed. Now you know that is wrong - so she made him right handed. When he brought home work from school that wasn't neat she made him rewrite it. I think he failed graded 2 because of her. At 16 I had to stop her from chasing him with a steak knife. I don't even remember why. The creapy thing is that all through my childhod her eyes were really dark - almost black. now they are light brown. She wants to babysit my children, with the disclaimer of " I relize that I made a few mistakes raising you , but I see things differently now. Sorry not a chance in hell.
Now my oops. I have 3 kids 10 , 8 and 3. By the third kid I am far more relaxed. My youngest is scared of weird things. He is very picky about who he will talk to , but aparently sees ghosts and is ok with it. The other day he was on the balcony by himself and didn't want to come in. I told him that he should come in before the cactus got him. He ran inside and slamed the dooor. He now will not go near any cactus. oops. He is ok with bees and spiders and says hello and goodbye, but warns everybody of the evil cactus. Oops
