    Haven’t we had this fight before?

    Photo by Vera Arsic from Pexels Jen: Life, kids, work and extra-curricular activities suck up so much of our energy each day, that when it comes to interacting with each other, we are often at the end of our rope. When we are having a disagreement we’ve had more than once, I feel worn down and don’t want to deal with it.

Even when they were in pre-school, I can remember having conversations about where my kids were developmentally and what their achievements were.
