I know it's awful, but I just can't help myself!KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236206776336550381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-48048641307979121482009-05-19T20:10:29.944-04:002009-05-19T20:10:29.944-04:00Oh my...it's true about crying though...it makes p...Oh my...it's true about crying though...it makes people uncomfortable and they cave faster. Still, not the greatest strategy for the rest of life (one of my friends still used crying as a way to get what she wanted her senior year of college...it was awkward).<br />Also, I gave you an award over at my blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-84840045254942149392009-05-19T10:20:00.000-04:002009-05-19T10:20:00.000-04:00I can't tell you how much I hate the forcing of ap...I can't tell you how much I hate the forcing of apologies when I'm doing yard duty. They are so not meant. And, when there's a "victim," he/she shouldn't be made to accept a non-heartfelt one.Patois42https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764936858778730692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-22551981173834015412009-05-18T21:43:00.000-04:002009-05-18T21:43:00.000-04:00Conflict resolution doesn't mean avoiding the conf...Conflict resolution doesn't mean avoiding the conflict. It means figuring out how to handle it.<br /><br />It sounds like Q tried her best to do the right thing, and somebody took advantage of her. Now the hard part is letting it go and not dwelling on how other people reacted.<br /><br />Is that possible for kids that age? I don't know. Conflict resolution is about letting go of drama. I would love to think that you can grow up drama-free, but I just don't know. It takes a lot of maturity that I certainly didn't have at that age.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559451322234777335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-82279926028497964502009-05-18T21:12:00.000-04:002009-05-18T21:12:00.000-04:00But I like their early efforts at diplomacy . . . ...But I like their early efforts at diplomacy . . . using logic. "Let go of the rope or it will break" would've definitely given me pause.

I already hate the dynamic of my kids vs other kids at the park. It's not helpful when the other kids' parents dump their kids at the park and go sit on a bench 50 yards away and talk on their cell phone... the whole while their kids and 100 pound dog are terrorizing my kids.Hyphen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129843526632243730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-13198477753052280772009-05-18T13:28:00.000-04:002009-05-18T13:28:00.000-04:00I'm so frightened of the up coming years.
