Drama

Who knew that boys have just as much drama as girls.

Last night, back-to-school barbecue, 11-year-olds...one in tears, the frustration of not being able to say and do to another what he wants to do--namely, punch him in the face. My son telling me today that a teacher heard the insult, yet didn't do anything about it. Me stuck between a rock and a hard place b/c I didn't witness the transgression, yet had to deal with the aftermath. And so fuming mad that I had a hard time being polite to the mother of the transgressor...but, it wasn't my son in tears, so....should I have said something? Was it right not to? Especially knowing that the other parent is not on the same parenting page as I.....

Ugh. You think you just want to get them born healthy and everything will be fine....then you have to get them grown.
