mom makes daughter post embarrassing photo as punishment

186. I know that growing up

there was always alcohol in my house. Were my parents heavy drinkers? No-it was often used for cooking. There were no locks on liquor in my house.

And at the age of 13 most kids can be trusted to be left alone for a few hours. They don't have to tag along with mom and dad to the grocery store or to PTO meetings at that age.

Also, at that age I remember babysitting for a local juvenile officer. I was allowed to have one friend (female, according to their rules) accompany me if I wanted. The JO had the best stock of anyone I knew at that time, and it was never locked up. Thinking back, I only knew of one house that locks. (Classmate's dad, former drill instructor.)

It wouldn't be all that hard to get the liquor at that age and it's not unexpected to leave a kid for a couple of hours without supervision at that age. My child is 12 and there are times I leave her for an hour while picking up groceries. She knows the rules and she knows to be ready to help put away groceries when I pull up. Most kids at that age are left for short amounts of time with nothing happening.
