The irony in this is that your neighbor who is in AA and is also working on her issues may in fact have her act together more than someone who is actively drinking every day, but trying to hide this from others. (And there are plenty of people like that around. I know this because I drink too much -- I don't ever drive when drinking -- and I'm not in AA.) If you are uncomfortable with your son taking rides from this woman, I would honor that feeling and just make up excuses. I think he's probably OK playing over at his friend's house. [ Reply | More

[ - ] s/o Preschool teacher gift: I listened to advice on here and gave $50 to ea teacher. Later, I found out that I was the ONLY parent who gave a cash gift of a gift of any significant value. I saw one parent give teachers a small box of chocolates each, and another parent told me that she gave the teachers written cards and that's it. Several other parents said they "forgot" or "didn't know what to do" and gave nothing. Now I'm out $100 and feel like an idiot.
