He doesn't really try either, Lady. He loves Alex and would protect him from harm.....but there is so much more to being a parent as we all know.
At least Alex has Monday off from school, so he will spend the whole day with me, plus his father...........but he will be next to me the whole time.
I've always tried to make my parents proud of me - been trying for 27 years and still haven't done it.
Take care today.
