<p>I am reading all these comments and have enjoyed/laughed and understood the humor in all this. I was a stay at home mom. I was home…a lot. We also had those rules about opposite sex kids being upstairs in house when I wasn’t home. Our housekeeper was in house five days a week.</p>

And…although I dated…a lot…I never brought a boy home.</p>
