"So, does your Mom work?" I asked, trying to make conversation with a seven-year-old boy who appears to only be interested in Nerf Guns and plastic soldiers.
I'm Diane, the mom of three boys, living in a New York City apartment that's too small to contain all the energy of our five family members. Mick, my sweetie pie husband, and I spend many, many hours trying to understand who our kids are and what they need, with variable degrees of success. In between, we work, pay bills, read semi-voraciously, plan playdates and work on our money pit of a beach shack--where something is always falling apart, much to our surprise.
