One parent is working and trusts other parent to provide adequate supervision for kids. The other parent sets a 4-year-old child in front of the TV downstairs while playing video games upstairs with older two children. Is this neglect? On whose part?

i would say both parents. the parent for trusing the other one to do something that is not being done and the parent for doing it is the worst one of them both. who is to watch the child. what if the child go into something poisions and got really sick or hurt and the parent who is to be watching dont hear and something really bad happens to the child.

the other parent was fulfilling a promise to the other child that i would play with him before his grandma came to pick him up, the parent that was working was in the other room with the door open to the room that the child was in, and she wrote on her legs with a perment marker that has since washed off, the the other parent did not put up after she used it

I'd be worried about the kid not being watched.

I agree with Roses, this is a private matter that should not have been brought onto AB.

I agree with both Roses and Ginger.....this is not the place for your family melo-drama....take it elsewhere, folks....like a counselor or a therapist. You are both acting rather pathetic and immature. Grow up and act like the adults you are purported to be. This back and forth squabbling here on AB is making you BOTH look like complete jackasses. And you are BOTH responsible for your children's health and well being if you BOTH are home. Sheesh. Pointing fingers and laying blame on your partner and trying to martyr yourself as the poor, innocent, misunderstood and misaligned victim never benefits ANYONE....especially your children.

This is real life. I dont know anyone else that doesnt have work to do, cooking, dishes, washing, mopping, vacuuming while kids are screaming and fighting. You both seem quite immature.

I think a four year old is old enough to be down stairs when the adult was upstairs. Unless the youngest was upset about being left out I don't see a problem.
