Yeah I suppose not. Though my Mom did it at the craziest point in her life. She was newly divorced had no freaking money whatsoever. I mean nothing. She worked in a retail job plus a few other gigs as a musician and everyone was kind of a crazy mess after the past few years. Our Father had essentially walked out on their lives, my youngest brother was really a mess emotionally and she just kinda let them be. She let them take care of themselves when she was at work and decided to change her schedule a bit so that she could see them a little more. The big thing was despite having no money and never really being able to pay the bills on time she was able to spend more time with them and everyone got to sleep in for once. The sleep factor made a huge difference in their lives. I had just moved out so I couldn't be there all the time either. Though for awhile I did move back in and that was kind of interesting. Everyone did their own thing, no one had any money yet we did a lot of things and I would sometimes teach them things or I would find resources for whatever it was they were interested in. Damn were we ever broke.
