[quote=Anonymous]My husband came to this country when Saigon fell as a refugee. He was a latch key kid of a single mom from the time he was six years old. His neighborhood was so dangerous that his mom instructed him to come home from school, lock the door and not leave. She worked full time and went to school at night first to learn English and then to get a college and masters degree. He wasn't allowed to use the stove, so he ate free school lunch and cold cereal for dinner, did his homework and watched hours and hours of tv until bed time. There were days all he saw of his mom was an exhausted heap under the blankets of her bed. He views the daycare and extended day programs our kids have gone to as a wonderful privilege for our kids. We are all incredibly lucky, and "the kid are alright."[/quote]
