I was recently reminded of an event . The Baby Bonanza. A simple concept; Half-drunk idiots are put in charge of small children. In the fairly recent past , when child protection was more lax, our heroes thought if you bundled a kid up pretty good, stuffed 'em in a milk crate, tied a long rope to it, got on the hockey skates, headed out on a pond and whipped the kid around, it would be a pisser. Followed by the requisite bon fire.
The stay at home parent may search their imagination for something to entertain their kids and the little playmates. I had a thing I called "Musthapha's Sweatshop" . Turn the heat way up. I'd wear a fez and a grimy t-shirt and pretend to make the kids make hand puppets for the export market.No breaks and no quitting before they were done. The kids loved it. Some moms were a little dubious.
