Suburba Mama Drama
I am a mom. I live in the suburbs. My kids even play soccer! BUT, I do not get into Suburban Mama Drama. And now, it has found me.
Well, the mom who thrives on the drama has found me. Big time.
REALLY?! I addressed an issue with this woman head-on. Our daughters are friends *sigh* and something needed to be said. So I said it.
I made her cry.
I also had her say, "This won't affect our friendship, will it?"
Ummm, she is not my friend. I am friendly with her because our daughters play together, but I have not:
* Invited her over for drinks & BBQ
* Gone to her house for coffee
* Celebrated any occasion with her
* Contacted her for advice
* Contacted her just to talk
Today we will be working on a school event all afternoon and evening. I am perfectly content with what went down. Feeling much better since letting her know where I stand. I am proud of myself for letting somebody know up front that they were instigating a problem for my 8 yo daughter.
She will be wearing her Moma Drama. It may be a long Friday.
GOOD FOR YOU!!! *hugs* Stand tall in what you did. Stay away from those who try to create this sort of behavior... it's much easier to simply not engage.
ZThere are plenty of people at my girl's school that both create and nurture this and I've begun to simply step out of that whole group.
You are amazing, and such an inspiration. Call me if you need a pep talk :)
