Lesson 5: Remain Neutral at all Costs

There is nothing worse than putting your two cents into other people's arguments. The best scenario is that your two cents is never "heard" and the people involved come to a consensus. The worst scenario is that your two cents is absorbed, misinterpreted, and now you not only become immersed in the argument, but you become the target of a new argument and the other people are now in cohoots against you!

This is particularly true when your children have issues with other children. Do not get involved. Kids tend to work it out between themselves very quickly. Meanwhile, you and the other parents are now locking horns with each other. In time, it's like the Hatfields and McCoys - no one knows how or why it started, but everyone keeps it going.

Your thoughts?
