I was a Mom and a half - zoos, activities, etc, - made a stay-at - home, worked at night dad do things with us, the mom told me, thanks, if not for you, DH would never do anything with him. I was always the stay-at-home mom.(well, I worked hours when kids at pre-school or school later) As a result, the kids with no parental supervision (working parents) always seemed to be at my house, even when older and DS's mom walked funny and then was in a chair. DS's 14 year old friend decorated my Christmas tree for me when I couldn't. I can't do it, but make DS make the Kool-aide for his gang, so I can kinda be the Kool-aide mom. They know.

Oh, my kids get As and Bs, with little supervision from me. Coincidence? I think not.
