I have two.
When they were smaller, it was easy enough to do a basic job of parenting, keep them safe and happy.
Now that they're older, they understand (for the most part) when I'm having a rough day of it and they'll step up to managing on their own. It may not be the meals I'd make, but they're not starving.
If it's a concert they're playing in or that sort of thing, I show up, but I don't socialise, unless, of course, I'm (hypo)manic, in which case I try to talk to everyone.
