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.)

Weak compared to others here.
But my cousin really shouldn't be a mother. Her kids are fairly lovely though.
Her daughter, a bubbly 15 year old, is barely 4 feet tall. Why? Because her mother's had her on a diet from the age of 6 and has managed to stunt her growth. And I wish I was kidding.
When her daughter was around 8 or so, I went out to dinner with my cousin and her family at one of those all you can eat places. After wolfing down the few lettuce leaves her mother had put on her plate, she said she was still hungry. My cousin ignored her, so I took her to get something more to eat.
Nearly had my ears torn off from being lectured on how I was getting her daughter fat.
Yeah. Great parenting skills there.

It gets better though...

She has a son too. After the aforementioned dinner/hell, we went back to my cousin's house. Son is about 3 at the time, and as we were leaving, he ran out of the house. Pitch black outside, and off he goes into the street. Did my cousin go get him, or even watch him? Did she fuck.
Eventually pulled up the wandering toddler a few houses down and brought him back.
Did she at least thank me? Pfft, yeah right.

I said one thing to my cousin, and it's the last thing I've ever said to her.

"You're an unfit mother."

...Yeah, I don't like my family so much.
