You suggest that because you think mothers don't care about their sons
progress at school (or lack of it!)?
You think that mothers (who are in the majority as custodial parents

Just what is going on in that addled brain of yours?

 You need to read the TITLE of this thread and then do one more thing -
COMPREHEND WHAT IT SAYS!
