[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the police report. So much for 'Jennie's stupid DH was told to watch the kids but he didn't'. 
Ugh.

So many things but I think one of the main factors at play will be the fact that these people had kids -- bc they felt "obligated" or wanted to or didn't want to feel left out as their friends had kids -- but then didn't want to give up or compromise on their pre-kid life in any way. Might be that they didn't realize how much 2 toddlers would need them ALL THE TIME. Though unlike all the "normal" people who go through this -- they have means, which is what makes this completely bizarre. They could afford anything from a HS babysitter a few hrs on a weekend to a weekend nanny to WH nannies for this particular event.

DCUM notwithstanding I think people are generally good (or at least ok). When the single mom in Arizona was arrested on child abuse charges for leaving her 2 yr old and 6 month old in a car in the heat to go to a job interview bc her childcare fell through and she desperately needed work, over 12k people signed petitions to get charges dropped and ultimately about 100k was raised to help this mom. Here -- since the story has gone national -- I don't see anyone defending these fools bc they didn't do what they did out of necessity, they merely wanted to get away from the kids and hit up a party.[/quote]
