Can I just say that I am waaaaay tired of the kid drama?
There's too much emotion, hormonal anxiety, gossip, drama, drama, DRAMA!!! I am the mediator, the negotiator, the conflict resolution instructor, the Christian witness example to follow, etc., etc., and the tired mother this summer! I am growing more and more bleary-eyed of the line between child conflict and parent conflict. When I was a child, I sure don't remember my parents or any of our parents getting involved in any of our conflicts. Nowadays, it seems all neighbors have opinions. It seems a matter of neighborhood diplomacy to maintain peaceful relations by keeping the peace between our children. Crazy!
