[quote=Anonymous]The 5 year old should have been able to handle his own pajama and toothbrushing situation, but other than that, yikes. Those poor kids. Has your sister always been an alcoholic, or is this new behavior? Sometimes the stress of being a parent (especially when you're not good at it) can push a drinker over the edge into dependency. I speak from experience on that one -- I've been dry for a while, but it wasn't pretty when I got near my personal "rock bottom." She needs to reel it in -- and if she can't, then she needs to quit. 5 and 2 is way too young for both parents to be drunk, ever. Someone always needs to be sober enough to deal with the paramedics and police in case of emergency. Maybe she just figured that was you since it was her "vacation," but you don't get to take a vacation from being a parent unless you actually hire a babysitter or at least make sure SOMEONE is designated to be responsible in an emergency.[/quote]
