This is what really made me think too. I believe that last year the moms saw where this boy lived and thought no way! This year I talked another Mom into bringing her son to the party and her attitude toward them totally turned me off and she's a good friend. I don't understand people some time, and I really expected better from her.

When I picked him up today his mom had made him french toast for breakfast, it looked home made (smoke detectors were going off and everything ). The kids were cleaning like I said, so this is a family where everyone pitches in and they seem to really try, but maybe things just don't work out for them a lot. And yes it is easy to ignore them but it could make a world of difference to treat them as equals that they are and not look down on them like I have seen.


And Momrajum, I am one of those people who needs space and time without people around so I hope the calling doesn't continue, but it'll be hard for them if I'm one of the only ones who'll take the time to play. I can be social, but not everyday, it wears out my brain.
