Ah, OK. That makes sense.
I don't want to end up repeating what has been said in eairlier posts, but do we assume Mom works till late everyday? Or is she home around the time Mac comes home from school? I don't think it is legal to leave a 8-year-old and a 13-year-old home alone. Either way, I imagine Mac says he is going to a friends house everyday if his absence is questioned.
Despite an absent Dad and a bully brother I don't imagine Mac's life before Fosters was miserable or depressing. But do we think she has been a bad mother to Mac? After all, he does have very strong morals.
Don't think I'm over-analyzing a fun cartoon too much, I'm just trying to get an idea of this part of the setting more
