Lily had two girlfriends over today for a play date as it's still too bloody cold here in the northeast to play outside for longer than one hour. That trip to Florida last week ruined me for the rest of winter...I'll be complaining and shivering long into June. Any hoo, the girls had a great time except for the tears, bickering, whining, door slamming, foot stomping drama....and that was just me.....no, just kidding. That was all the domain of the other ladies in the house.....
Lily and her friends fought constantly but appeared to be having a good time nonetheless. I did have to referee on occasion and offer the prerequisite, 'say your sorry' or 'it was an accident I'm sure she didn't mean it' as conflict resolution is definitely an on going issue over here. It was no Kill Bill but at times I thought I might just kill myself. However, despite the cat fights it was a successful afternoon. By the end of the play date they appeared to be as tight as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Amanda.
All this bickering and then making up (or just sulking) is good preparation for life....or marriage. Sharing is still difficult when one is six but then again...I know 46 year olds who don't know how to share either.
