A proud mother.

Mrs. Stonepounder has a group of women the regularly chats with on line. One of the was saying that she couldn't figure out why her son's school lunch bills were so high. She kept grumbling about it until other members of the group suggested that she go to she school and inquire.

So, off she went and asked to see an accounting. The school was happy to oblige. Turns out her son was buying 4-5 lunches a day. Turns out her son was buying lunches for several other students who couldn't afford to buy their own lunches. Mama didn't say a word, paid the bill, and told her son she was so proud of him!

There's a mother who is doing a great job of parenting.

Whoopsie, I made a little typo there. Where it says "buy lunches for" I meant to type "steal lunches from."
