Your raw honesty is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing and helping so many parents (and humans existing in our country today) feel seen! I'll be drinking that daiquiri plus some!

Awww, thanks for the shoutout!

10 year olds are a tough lot to deal with, it’s the twilight of their young childhood and their adolescence. 5th graders always are kinder at the start of the school year vs how they are at the end of the school year. I will admit that 6th grade in my opinion is the toughest grade to deal with.

Ahhhhh! Thanks for making me crave a daiquiri. October cannot come soon enough!

Thank you for sharing

When kids and preteens act like the adolescents they in fact are and their prefrontal cortex (corteces?) aren’t fully formed, they have a built in excuse and we are told it’s a phase and rite of passage. What I have a hard time with, are the adults who behave like petulant stubborn children. They are impossible to reason with and that is why I’m not all the way okay either.

Thank you for this! That drink also looks amazing
