Costco boxed mixed greens with a light vinaigrette are even better than the bagged salads! So good.

No cold shoulder afterwards, thank goodness. I was welcome back as soon as I could stop crying. They meant well, and didn’t understand that I needed support working through my big feelings. Alas, here we are!

I want to respectfully post this as best as I can. Ignoring is a parenting choice my parents made when parenting me. Not only did my “tantrums” go on far into childhood, but I felt so much shame around my emotions for so long—still do. I don’t expect to change minds, but perhaps I can be the voice that speaks up for those considering doing this. Please consider supporting your kids through their big emotions so they learn to regulate them instead of hiding them.
