It'll be chaos!<br /><br />mags - rant on, I say. The amount of involvement many parents have in their kids' lives today really scares me. <br /><br />A - Howdy you! It's been a while. Do parents do this stuff up north?

There are the extroverted kids who are probably fine running around and being friends with everyone, and there are the kids who would really struggle without one or two best friends. It just assumes that everyone is the same and everyone clicks with everyone else equally.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.com
