That's so selfish and emotionally neglectful that it's actually vile. It's genuinely uncaring and cruel. "We know you were upset and crying last night honey but hey, who gives a ****, we're going out again because it's our holiday and we want to  ".
That's not just "bad parenting", that's being a nasty, ****ty person in general. Any adult who would willingly leave a child alone like that again AFTER being told that they were scared and crying the last time - be that their parent or not - is an absolute scumbag. |
the decision was a mistake, kids wake up and cry that's what kids do.
