"I am Her Mother, That’s Not My Job!"

Something has been bothering me since last Thursday night.  Nagging at my brain, challenging me to debate it.  I conceded, knowing my brain is not keen on letting me sleep if it has something on it. On one of the rare nights that we only had one child still up at 9pm, my husband and [...]
