I'm going to offer my mother to you, hearing something like that... She cares far too much for one son to handle on his own. Even if I had something similar once we moved here -- I was left in the care of my aunt and uncle for a great deal of time -- Mom always did her best to leave a space open for me, which is why I learned to cook. One less thing on her mind, and more time to spend with her.

Have you ever done anything outrageous to get their attention?
