I'm providing a link to an article about a couple who let their baby die while they played internet games. Tragic is all I can say.

I think these two had issues long before they had a baby. But that is heartbreaking Rockdoc.

Where's the link hunny? That was such a sad story. Only feed your baby one a day (rotten formula) and then beat it when it's hungry. And their letting her keep the next baby???????? That wouldn't happen here. What a disgusting couple of people. RIP poor baby.

Yes, I believe you are right. These people had a problem before a child was born to them. It simply boggles my mind that addiction can completely obliterate your moral compass. Where is the sense of responsibility? It with the addiction telling its host the best thing they can do is feed it. And, that comes at the expense of self and family. It would be huge to find ways of inhibiting addictive behavior.

I'm so lazy sometimes I call my wife on the cell phone when she's upstairs, but i've never carried on a conversation with her on a message board like you two lovebirds do..I'm gonna have her log on here so we can do it to, but we've been married forever so be warned, it could get ugly. Her favorite subjects are what I should be doing instead of what i'm doing, whats wrong with me, and things we need to do to the house for no reason that cost a lot of money.

Right at the top of the thread. in my initial post, love. The story is tragic for sure and the fact they are addicts does not absolve them of their crime. Yet, it is clear they like all addicts that are hooked on something that takes over their lives at the expense of everything they love in it, they desperately need help

Well that may or may not be beneficial for you or her. I would hope that you make a concerted effort to behave. :biggrin: :biggrin:
