Would you . . .

leave your sleeping children home alone at night and sneak over to a neighbor's house for a few cocktails?  I recently learned that new friends of mine, who honestly I had thought were a bit uptight and old-fashioned, actually are quite the free spirits.  Apparently, they tuck their three children, ages ranging from 3 to 8, into bed at night, and then slip a few doors down to drink with their neighbors, leaving their sleeping children unattended for up to an hour.  What do you think about this?  Is it no big deal, something that you have done or would do, or are you horrified and wondering if anyone has called child protective services?!  Talk amongst yourselves . . . .
