Girl Drama

OK, we are waiting again, so I will babble. Girl Drama, is this really necessary? They are such sweeties when babes, and something saturates theirs souls as puberty begins and monsters emerge. They are so beautiful to look at it takes you by surprise, budding young women whose heads can spin around. I have 5 sisters and I remember little drama while I was home, rumor has it the two youngest did battle for a while, but I had moved out by then.

Maybe my memory is flawed, wouldn't be the first time, but I don't recall PMS being allowed or tolerated, you were supposed to be at least civil to one another all the time. I am trying to recall what my mother did. She kicked us out of the house a lot, that would take care of some of the battles. We had to work at home or elsewhere, once again this gets us out of each others hair, or too tired to fight. I remember pouting and silent treatment, but usually you just found something to do, or a good book to read. Maybe the 3 year gap between me and the next girl had something to do with it, my usual family companion was my older brother. After the gap there are 5 girls crammed into 6 years. Heading to college at 18 I left the quintet, ages 9-15 home alone, with one younger brother, maybe he is a better person to ask about the presence of girl drama in that generation.

But I still need a fix, something to bring down the curtain on said behavior in this current crop of females. Withdrawal of all privileges doesn't do it, at times it seems to increase the drama. Maybe the work option is the way to go, then instead of sniping at one another I become the primary target, this would give them an enemy to unite against. We might get a little peace and I might get a clean house.
