See, my kids knew how to do it right. I have 6, ranging in age from 21 down to 8. The 2 oldest are boys from DD, then a boy and a girl from oldest son. Then the 2 youngest are girls from middle son. Youngest son is single and plans to stay that way with absolutely no kids. I did my share of baby-sitting and emergency pick-up from day care. Also was on the emergency call list at their schools, and became very friendly with the school nurses. Then when it came time for after-school sports, yep, you guessed it...I was the one the boys called for pick up. Now that those 2 are in college, I really miss it. Middle teens have a work-at-home Mom, so rarely have to do things for them. The 2 youngest, I rarely see, and they only live 10 minutes from me.
