[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They sound pretty neglectful as parents. She comes home after they are all asleep and doesn't wake up until long after they do? The older ones played outside alone before she woke up? And no one checked on the twins? Why does she never mention the dad again? There is no way, even if they do often wake up during the night, that they accidentally fell asleep in a hard wooden box. [/quote]

This is a classist response. She's a restaurant manager. She may get home quite late and Dad does bedtime and mornings.[/quote]

+1 if you read her entire post, she came home late because she is a shift worker. So she also needs to sleep later. This is a common set up for parents that work shifts so that everyone can function. Dad puts kids to bed, Mom peeks in when she gets in after her shift, then goes to sleep. Dad was outside with older kids while they played in the morning, thought twins hadn't woken yet.

We don't know everything yet, but I agree that implying that she is at all neglectful for working shift work just because it doesn't line up with how your life is, definitely feels classist and judgemental.[/quote]
