At what age are "kids" allowed to be alone in the house? At what age are "kids" allowed to babysit littler kids?
OK so the "drunk in charge of kids" charge fails -unless he was endangering them.... did he look like a danger to anything except that lettuce?
He told them to video them if he fell off the wagon.. They did. Furthermore, the one we hear was an obnoxious pushy teen and demonstrates amply that it's not causing her any emotional scars -she is enjoying this power over her dad.
Are they used to seeing him drunk? Well evidently, occasionally -they recognise it, but regularly? I don't think so! Who makes a drunk promise anything? What effect has this had? Clearly the kid(s) are anti-alcohol. Isn't that what all American strives for?
One might almost argue that this is a perfect case of parenting by example whilst protecting your kids from experiencing the dangers themselves.
I feel for him and the kids. the ex-wife who leaked this shit to the media can rot in hell for all I care.
