Yet another reason we’re going to change the locks and convert our kid’s room into a den the day they graduate college:

“Boomerang kids” who treat the family home like a free hotel are driving their parents to distraction, a leading British charity has warned.

Lifestyle clashes abound — from piles of laundry and mounds of debt to drug and alcohol abuse — with one parent complaining “our home became a war ground of constant arguments.”

Parents seem to seesaw between frustration about their children still living at home and feeling that at least they are happy and safe.

Awww, poor baby. She’s a lucky girl…

A two-year-old girl is recovering in hospital after falling from the seventh floor of a block of flats.

Alisha Mbala suffered just a broken leg in the 100ft (about 30.5m) plunge from a flat window at Arthur Court in Battersea, south-west London.

Police said she was in a stable condition in hospital following the accident on Saturday night.

The plot thickens in the case of the Madeleine McCann mystery. The over-medicating of the child theory does seem plausible given that we’re talking about parents that went out to dinner and left their children at home. How could they make certain the children wouldn’t wake up and get spooked?

Parents who would think it was okay to leave toddlers and babies home alone while they go partying, could very well lack judgement in other areas. At the very least, it’s stupid and incredibly selfish. What else could these parents be capable of, simply knowing that they discarded their own children’s safety in lieu of having a good time?
