Dear Erin,
I hope you are doing great! We haven't met in quite a while! Are you back in town?
I have some good news! I met Beth and Britney yesterday and I heard something that might help! They both talked
about their kids. Apparently, Beth’s kids won’t stop fighting and she explained (to Britney) it was really exhausting
because they hardly enjoy any family activity. Britney advised her not to worry about it, and she admitted (to) fighting
with her siblings just for fun when they were kids. Beth agreed with her since she was worrying too much about it.
Then, Britney suggested organizing a play date with all their kids together the following Friday. Beth thought it was a
great idea and offered to pick Britney and her kids up after lunch. Britney insisted on not worrying too much about the
issue and she warned Beth not to stress too much since the kids might pick up her anxiety and that wouldn’t help much.
I was just thinking of your kids, Erin. If you contact Beth and Britney your kids could go also go on this play date,
too! I’m sure it’ll be lots of fun for them.
Let’s keep in touch!
