Okay, so this comic hits way too close to home. Like, there’s me trying to be the picture-perfect listener, you know? I’m all like, “Yes, I totally get where you’re coming from,” while my brain’s doing cartwheels. But then the kids are just throwing punches like it’s WrestleMania in my living room. Honestly, the idea of “employing active listening” sounds so nice on paper...until someone gets clocked in the face. In theory, empathy is a bridge. In practice, it’s more like a rickety rope swing over a pit of tantrums and chaos. I swear, sometimes I feel like I need a parental instruction manual, and a therapist on speed dial...and maybe a snack. Or a vacation (possibly both). Anyway, if “being square” means surviving with minimal breakdowns, I’ll wear that badge proudly and keep nodding like I’m in on the joke!
