Many of our students come have graduated with a "Certificate" from our Tol campus from the Islands of Chuuk. Apparently on Tol which is a small island with absolutely not much except the campus on it..... they have a "House Mothah" or AKA House Mother - she makes sure they get up on time and get to class on time. She does many things to help people students who are Micronesian get accustomed to a school schedule based on Western principals. Although I don't do nearly as much as this woman did - some of the students still refer to me as house mother.
Pslam 113:9 says "he gives the barren woman a home so that she becomes a happy mother." I went from 0 to 63 in a couple weeks. Although I am not as responsible for the guys they guys still come to me for some issues when they need help.
I have had to help sick children, listen to their problems, drive them places, and discipline them at times.
When I go to the grocery store to get the weekend and breakfast groceries everybody looks at how much food I am buying and very often make a comment. My answer is always I have 70 children which I was supposed to have but the enrollment was down from originally expected.

At least they're potty trained!!
70! And I thought 2 was plenty for me to handle!
I can't imagine that anyone -- even with natural mothering experience -- could be doing a better job than you. How many house mothahs are actually trained therapists? How many house mothahs actually end up needing therapy? If these students didn't respect you so much you'd be in deep dark dew-dew.
