I have a wonderful parent right now. She genuinely cares not only for her family but cares for mine as well. I have to pack up my entire group of kids to take some to pre k. Once in a while, when my parent is home, she will come and pick up my son and take him for me. So I dont have to pack up all my kids. She also is one of those parents who always pays on time and is happy to communicate anything that is happening at home. So i have some insight as to behaviour at daycare. She also works for a wholesale company. So she gets to purchase stuff at cost. She provides me with some groceries while i provide her with child care on the dates of the sale. She is a real gem. I hope I have her for a long time.
