No, not pathetic at all @
MuddyBoots - it shows that you are learning and growing wiser.
It is hard to pick which battle to engage with but remember that engaging is a choice and you have the power to change that choice.
I have grown up kids and have had a lot of practice. I just learned by trial and error, and chose to not engage in the majority of the cases because they were not big issues. You have to feel out the situation. Figure out what you're feeling and determine what you want out of the battle. Ask yourself if what you want is feasible or even desirable. Is it important enough to argue over?
Take a breath and make a conscious choice and you'll start to see a difference. Sometimes doing nothing is a choice too.
