ZERO-CHILL None of My Kids Have Any Chill and I'm Tired   I really love this piece by Samm Burnham Davidson about how her family is basically a walking, talking circus. Her kids, she says, "have no chill" and the resulting chaos makes her tired. I mean, girl, same. Parenting is exhausting, let alone parenting while juggling end-of-school-year activities, all kinds of sports games, and daily life. As Samm writes, "One single child with a big, bold personality can impact a family in an enormous way. Their mood sets the tone for the day, and their presence can engulf a crowd. Having four of these, all jockeying for their own stage time has made life in our house complicated and chaotic…. Sometimes it feels like they are inside out — all of their feelings exposed for the world to see. All of them without any zen. Just pure, electric, volatility from everyone, over everything, all of the time." I can relate, can you? See you back here tomorrow.   Read More
