I can relate to you in a way and the situation isn't easy. I'm a stay at home mom who has suddenly become the neighborhood mom. There are 4 kids ages 5-8 who think that it is my job to be their babysitter, cook, nurse, and referee. Seriously, where the heck are their parents? No where to be found I can assure you. I'll be happy when summer is over and they all go back to school!
