[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]here's another wrinkle-
my stbx grew up in a house where the parents partied (hey - it was the good old days, right?) and regularly left the kids do their own devices, and I'm talking toddlers and babies.  MIL was a functioning alcoholic and FIL totally enabled her.  STBX grew up in a highly unstable (but upper SES, educated) household and he never had any real stability.  The stories he used to tell me were bat-shit crazy.  But he thought it was all fine.  Pretty funny in fact.  He did have a nanny during the week, but not in the evenings or on the weekends.  Anyhoo, as an adult he's a hot mess, has BPD, can't hold a job, maintain relationships, never takes personal responsibility for his choices, etc etc.

Not saying that one incident is going to scar your kid for life, but if this is their parenting style, then there are real ramifications for the kids.  No joke.[/quote]

Interesting. Back in the the sixties my grandparents left heir four year old in his crib while they went next door to the neighbors house for a party. The house was robbed. Not only did the police not give a damn that a four year old was alone in the house, they interviewed him as a witness!

He's fine today.[/quote]

Bs. No 4-year old is in a crib. Wtf?[/quote]
