ARE THERE MEAN GIRLS IN KINDERGARTEN?

"Nobody wants to be friends with me", cried my 5 year old. Now hold up, I know she's 5, and well, girls can be dramatic, and this isn't a scene out of Big Little Lies (although I could create one just for the sake of my love for the show), but it's not. There's been no attack on my child's body. No marks. Nothing of the sort. But one thing is for damn sure, any kind of bullying is not acceptable and nobody is going to bully a 5 year old, but if they do, my inner Renata character is not going to stay quiet.

I don't always have my shit together. And I often complain. Because, well, I'm human and a mother of 3 and the daily drill of life can be daunting at times. And I openly share my thoughts with the world on this process because I'm a writer and I like to share. But the other night I felt a shift in my household and I briefly paused. Just when I felt the weight of the world closing in on me, I stopped paying attention to that feeling and watched my husband. I watched his body language, noticed his breathing, and looked deep into his tired eyes. And suddenly it came over me. They're under a lot of pressure too.
