Just wanted to chime in and say, my DH and I are really that sappy, and we have routine, phone calls at certain times etc.... And he probably would say all of those details on our morning, and I wouldn't find it odd. ALso, the comment that is now gone off of that article, that would lead me to believe they were even more sappy at times, trying to rebuild their marriage to where it once was....
I wonder if the "cousin" came by and said there is an emergency at the school, or the school bus crashed, I'll take you.... etc..... she grabs shoes and coat, nothing else, and runs out the door. I would do that, probably forget my shoes actually lol.
Or maybe, just maybe, she is a runaway, but I can't go with that just yet, even though it has been proven, I cannot fathom a Mother walking away from her kids, possibly leaving them in a situation to come home to an empty house, I just can't see it. Not in this case, just yet.
And not having internet, cell phone, etc, If she really wanted to be a SAHM, she could justify giving those things up, they all cost money, and in this day and age, supporting a family off of 1 income is extremely difficult to do! Although I have 2 SAHM friends that are like that, no contact outside, not even a landline, and they prefer it that way, just so they can be home. :twocents:
