Thanks for clarifying, although in truth, there's not a lot of consistency in anything that has to do with children. Not only are you responsible for interacting with their schools, their activities, their doctor/dentist, their soccer coach, etc. - and all the ways that those interactions can have a Monkey wrench thrown into them, but kids are notoriously unpredictable. What they want one minute is something they hate the next -and then there's all the sibling interactions. There is an appearance of structure but in truth, there is a lot of flying by the seat of your pants trying to make the world function in the care of someone that you dearly love and not always succeeding very well.

I didn't write this, but it's a good, quick snapshot into the pervasive chaos of parenting.
