There is one to every group, and if you can’t pinpoint who is the Mom or Dad of your friend group, then it is probably you. Your friend’s parents are thankful for you, because they might not be able to be at college to take care of their crazy kids, but you are. They might not always say thank you, but they are thankful for all you do. Parenting is an unappreciated role. So buckle up, and know you’re not alone. Congratulations, you just inherited 5-10+ children. Enjoy.
