I’m Thankful I Have the Luxury of Being Annoyed By Politics on Facebook

Last Friday morning my kindergartener was home sick from school. Exhausted from being up with him for much of the night, and emotional from a rough and trying week, I sat at the dining room table trying to work as tears slipped down my face and splashed onto my laptop keyboard.

“Why are you crying, mom?” He asked.

I didn’t have an answer for him. Not one that he could understand.

You see, I was crying because of Facebook. In particular a rancorous political exchange with immediate family members over something I’d posted on Facebook which to me seemed, at the time, not so controversial.
