[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before judging the mom for being away from home, I'd like to know why she was away from home.  If she was out partying, we should condemn that. [b]If she was working the graveyard shift on poorly paid job and she couldn't afford childcare, that's another matter. [/b]

[i]So if I leave my kid home alone while I work, that's ok?  Or only if I can't afford to pay someone else to watch my brood?  There is no excuse for leaving four children eight and under at home alone -- that's why most states have laws against it.

[b]The fact that the children had several different fathers is irrelevant as to why she was gone that night[/b].[/quote]

I agree with this statement -- [b][i]what I don't agree with is that having more kids than you can afford (regardless of the number of fathers) is not per se evidence of bad parenting.

[/quote]PP here. I didn't say it was. But I've known people who had too many children who at some point became responsible and got their kids to school every day and to tutoring and other programs.  I don't know anything about this woman so I don't know if she is like that or not.  That's I'm withholding my condemnation until I know more about her or at least the reason that she was gone from the home.[/quote]
