There are so many times I have to bite my tongue and accept that circular arguments are fruitless. I usually have to shut my ego down and let the opposing parties walk away with smug looks on their faces as if they have "won" something.
What helps is when I remind myself that I am fighting for the kids. They tend to fight for many motives, but none seem for the kids. It's still frustrating since I have my own emotions to contend with, but at least I won't waste any more of my time as well as have a clear conscience.
Let's remember to fight smart, not be reactive.
And yes, I am the pot calling the kettle black. :-) Peace.
