Terrible ParentingMy 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.)

My dadused to go down the pub while my mum was working evenings. We lit a fire in the middle of the living room one night while he was out. It was burning pretty well, then there was a bang on the living room window and my dad's face appeared. He didn't look very pleased at our resourcefulness so we ran out the back and locked ourselves in the bathroom until mum came home.
They got divorced not long after that.
