I've lost track of the number of kids that call me mom. there are 6 teenagers crashed out in my living room as we speak.

Same here. I have so many adopted kids I've lost count. My house is like a safe house to some as well. I'd much rather them be here, than out getting into trouble, although I have yet to experience that. I hope I don't. I've experienced problems teens that weren't trouble....just had problems. It makes me thankful that mine don't experience what these couple of kids have.

Not cool to hang with Mom??? When does this event happen? My kids & their friends still like hanging out with me & even drag me out with them!
