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.)

No imagination at all, or no effort!!My examples are either vaguley interesting, or so bad you'll feel sorry for me so i'll go for the former. Last birthday, my birthday came and went, (ok, I was 27, but still!!)and I got Jack Shit. A couple of weeks later, I enquired about my card/gift and was met with the reply: You didnt tell me what you wanted, so I didnt get you anything. WTF??? not even a card from my mum and dad?? I swear I keep reliving it, especially when I watched my sisters open their gifts from the parents, thinking i'm last in the popularity contest.
Another occasion is when my parents bought their house and they made it very clear that when they died, my youngest sister would get the house and we would get nothing. Again, felt very loved by this one!!
