We meet all sorts in our neighborhood.
Here's what I have little patience for. My frenemy is extremely sweet, but he has children who are the ages of my children, and there is a weird undercurrent of competition.
My frenemy says: "We have three weddings to attend this year, and fortunately we've found babysitting coverage so we can make every single one."
Also: "We have a free live-in nanny. She is the mother of my bestie, and she has been alone for several months. She actually thanks *us* for the privilege of caring for the infant. She says she is laughing for the first time in eons....."
I don't really know how to respond to this sort of thing. I say "GREAT!" and I imagine digging my claws into this guy's neck.
That's my life, for now.
