[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes.  I drink pretty liberally when I'm on vacation with my kids but never get uber wasted and wouldn't dream of leaving dirty diapers all over. But, [b]try to cut her some slack for the vacation thing.[/b] now, if this is Tuesday night at home.  No Bueno [/quote]

No, dont' cut her slack. She and her husband sound like alcoholics. You bring up drunkenness repeatedly, and they drink to the point of passing out -- when they have young children in their care. I find it very hard to believe they drink this much only on vacation and are attentive parents when at home.

OP, I think you have a case of alcoholics married to each other who are enabling each other's drinking. If that's the case, these two kids have NO adult in their daily lives to keep them even basically safe, much less to help them grow up normally....I am at a loss, because usually we could all say, you need to talk with and work with the sober spouse to get the alcoholic spouse help, but you cant even do that here.

I might try visiting them in their home a few times soon and seeing if the drinking is going on at the same pace there but it seems sure that it is going on at some level. As for what to do for these poor kids -- you might have to get others involved if both parents "drink like fish" at home as well as on vacation.[/quote]
