Default 4 year Old Knows How to Party : Epic Parenting

http://www.newschannel9.com/news/yea...christmas.html

I'll break down the details for those that don't want to read the article:
  • 4 year old leaves his house in the middle of the night
  • Drinks a 12 ounce beer
  • Steals neighbour's Christmas presents
  • Found drunk, wearing a dress in the middle of the road.

Best line from Mom "There's only so much you can do as a parent."

Not only was he wearing a dress, but the dress was one of the Christmas presents he stole.

Ya I can see why somebody might feel that way. 4 year old opening a tab on a beer though ... that's actually pretty impressive.

The kid is obviously a chip off the old block and is following in his daddy's foot steps.

Well to be fair the mom, the kid sounds like a conniving . He breaks a child safety device off at 4 and opens a tabbed beer. That's impressive.

The story behind the story, in the mother's own words in a report this morning, is that the boy misses his father who is in jail, ergo the answer to be closer to his father is to go to jail by mimmicking the habits of his father.

IE: be a drunk.

Well-reasoned on the surface and impressively executed. Too bad his goal is to be a loser.

I hate it when even four year olds are having more fun than me.

I'd saw everything the kid did was pretty damn impressive! That's a solid nights work.

I don't know how the new anchors could keep a straight face while reporting that.

As for opening the beer tab, no problem. At less than 2 years old I got a chair, opened up the utensils drawer, got out a steak knife, and cut an apple in 1/2 before I managed to just about take out an eye trying to cut it into smaller slices. The trip to the emergency room is one of my youngest memories. I still bug my mother about that incident-or the time she was pretending to eat pieces of leggo and I one-upped her and swallowed a piece for real. There is no way I could accuse my mother of being a bad mother in reality though.
Even though she may not be a perfect mother, the kid is well ahead of the curve when it comes to mischief and she probably has to work much harder to keep that kid in line.

That's where it went from funny to kind of sad.
