In the overall scheme of parenting, a forgotten lunch is no big deal. There are much bigger fish to fry: Sex, drugs, and exactly how much Runescape is "too much," to name a few. And I will have to deal with those things, but for me, today, a forgotten lunch is more than just an inconvenience. It immediately brings to mind the question of whether I'm failing as a parent.Posted January 14, 2010 - 08:11 by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
