That sounds like my mom... my sister recently admitted to me that I had been more of a mother to her when we were growing up... my mom used to leave me at about the age of 10 to babysit my 7 year old sister, and 7 year old and 3 year old stepbrothers while she and stepdad went partying. She'd been a cocktail waitress most of my early days, and we learned early how to let ourselves in after school, entertain ourselves, and prepare simple meals. If we bothered her while she was sleeping, she would throw stuff at us and make us go away. By the time I was 12, I was doing all the cooking, and a good bit of the housework... my sister did the rest. Mummy did nothing if she could get away with it. She and stepdad would drink and smoke pot and order us around... When he left, Mom couldn't handle us, and we pretty much ran wild. It's a miracle that we weren't killed or that we didn't grow up to be bad people... We're both responsible adults with kids of our own, and we do our best to make sure our kids never know the kind of life we did.
