I agree and why is a 5year old taking a nap ..what parents are sleeping whilst small children are left to play alone, sounds like the 5 year old is used for babysitting the 2 year old ..a dilemma but maybe you should speak up to the parents about your concerns ,.

I can't imagine all the adults in the house - a couple - taking a "nap" as they say while they leave two preschoolers alone in the house and don't hear the bathtub overflowing.  

Is that what you're saying?  I really can't tell - there were at least two preschoolers left completely alone (sounds like three preschoolers actually) with no supervision?

Good thing they're all still alive.  I wouldn't label any of them having "mental issues",  but would consider calling CPS on parents who "nap" while children are running around playing doctor in the bathtub.
