***leaving your three-year old daughter alone while he's passed out drunk? absolutely not. the constructive way to handle this is to NEVER, EVER allow him to take the kids again. he can visit with them only when supervised by you...he's lost his chance, as far as i'm concerned, to be trusted to take care of your precious babies. not only is he putting them in danger, but he's modeling completely inappropriate and anti-social behavior...you'll have to figure out how to pay that babysitter because the cost of leaving them in the care of a father like that may be devastatingly high in the end....
