Grinned through my mom's criticism at dinner last night, but now I'm split on whether biting my tongue was wise or weak.

Is staying quiet to keep the peace better, or does speaking up about how it hurts do more good?

That "grinned through criticism" feeling is so familiar. I picked my battles and spoke up later when we were both calm, which actually worked. Staying quiet in the moment isn't weak, it can be smart strategy.

Your silent grin said volumes, @sarah_fisher49.

That "strategy" talk makes it sound like a big deal. Was it really worth all that planning?
