I'm like that and so are Aaron and Lily. We are all so pale that I have to watch them closely in the summer time. I went to the lake with a friend of mine while the ex had the kids last summer and I got so fried. I didn't even know it was so bad until I got home and sat down, I couldn't get up my skin hurt so bad. I was so tired that I kept falling asleep and when I finally did get up one spot on my leg hurt so bad and it was purpleish so I went to the doc. He said it was just a really, really bad sunburn and to take a couple days to recover, stay out of the sun ect. I used to get so sunburned as a kid I would get huge blisters all over my body.

I think the charge for the dad is a bit much, some people just burn easier than others and although it suck and is really dangerous, its not neglect. But then again 3rd degree burns is pretty horrible...so I don't know.
