Sometimes being a parent means getting creative.
When her initial attempts to get in touch with her daughter on the phone weren’t successful, ChaCha Watson knew exactly how to make sure the lasagna got defrosted on time: find her on Roblox.
The Chicago mom toldTodaythat sheloves “spending quality time” with 11-year-old daughter Miracle on the online gaming platform, which they’ve been doing together for over a year.
And since their avatars are friends, as soon as she logged on she could see what game her daughter was playing, per the outlet.
“She just so happens to be in the beginning stage when you first pop up on the game,” said Watson, who proceeded to hop in the car with her daughter’s avatar.
