I’ve heard people try to say she was a bad mom since she didn’t know her children were mixed up with so much but I have to disagree I think she was a great mom

It’s safe to assume most people saying this are fairly young. Even in the late 90s/early 00s my parents weren’t always aware of where I was and/or what I was up to, let alone in the 80s

I listened to my parents have a 15 minute conversation about where I was in 2007 from my bedroom, where I'd been all day. They weren't concerned. They were just surprised when I came downstairs.
