**I've said this before here, but often I dodge my mother's arguements
by the
non sequitor reply. She makes comments about what Tim is missing in school,
and I chatter about how well he's doing in a whole different area -- soccer,
cub scouts, dance, etc. When she's talking about school, I do NOT mention
the things he does do at the school, like his "library class" or chess club.
I save those for complaints about his eating. And so on.

We have really wierd conversations, but hey, it's less painful than the
fights!**

Hi, Brenda --

I love it! Dodge like a butterfly, buzz away like a bee. <ggg>
