[blparent] stats

[Peggy Shald]

That happens a lot.  I have three kids ... 18, 10 and 5 months and the older 
two at various times in their lives have been thanked or praised for taking 
very good care of mommy.  Fun isn't it.  I would guess that child protective 
services are called more or respond more to blind parents because they have 
no clue how we could possibly raise a child.  I did foster care for a while 
and believe me ... there are great people working in the system but most 
aren't the most intelligent people I've ever met.
