This is a question Terrible Parenting

My parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.

On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

"So you know how it feels..."
Both my parents are alcoholics. Aside from distinctly remembering them having sex in a caravan when I was younger, and actually witnessing my mum having an affair (on the sofa, with the builder/dad's mate) my parents are still.. well, terrible parents. During one particular drunken episode, my mum smashed a wine glass over my dad's head. He stormed into the PC room with a beer bottle threatening to smash it over my head if I wasn't on his side, and then I'd know how it felt to have glass smashed over my head... yes dad, I'll be on your side if you slice my skull open with a broken bottle, of course!

I got my revenge on my crazy mental-home parents though. Mum hates snakes. I brought home 9. Mum and dad hate dogs. I brought home a dobermann puppy. I have since moved/been kicked out.
