BEING A SUBSTITUTE PARENT




I don't mind stepping into a parental role sometimes.



My kids are grown, and sometimes you need a mom around.




When you are shopping with a crying baby and a toddler throwing a tantrum.




When you need to change a diaper and there's no place to do it.



When you are working extra hours and your kid needs to be somewhere.




I was what the Army calls a "geographical single parent" for WAY too many years to not appreciate all the many, MANY people who stepped in and helped me.




So I am happy when I can return the favor.
