My first grader got into a fight with one of his classmates.
They called each other names, threatened
to hit each other, and finally my son threw the other child’s water-bottle out the
window. After patiently hearing him out, I started telling him how he shouldn’t
resort to violence, when he interrupted.
“But what about Anita”, he said, naming a fifth grader.
“What about her?”
“She scolded me and threw out my water-bottle. First scold
her.”
He did have a point, but I was powerless to do anything.
Is there any job more difficult than that of being a parent?

Natasha - No, there is no job more difficult, more frustrating, and more likely to make you second-guess yourself. But there is also no job more important, more rewarding and more nourishing to the soul.
Yes. Hardest hardest, and lately most stressful. I know you're doing a great job, though. And you love those little guys so much~ :o) <3
