[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know that this is shitty parenting (realistically, nothing bad was going to happen to the kids who were presumably in coats, strapped in a locked car with parents 400 feet away and monitoring via iphone).  However, it is definitely selfish parenting.  As in, let's not let having children interfere with our own fun.  Unfortunately, selfishness can't be corrected by a parenting class.[/quote]

Really?  Nothing bad is going to happen?  Are you so sure about that?  Even if it's unlikely that the kids will get kidnapped or frostbite or whatever, do you not think something like this could be traumatic enough to leave a lasting impression?  A child who does not feel safe with his caregivers is likely to end up with a whole host of psychological issues.  If this were a one-time deal in an otherwise caring and appropriate parent-child relationship, the kids would probably get over it, but if these people are going to do this to go taste wine on a Sunday afternoon, you know they're doing it for a million other things too.
