Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea
We Can’t Be Everyone’s Cup of Tea
Dear Caregiver/Parent:
Everyone’s Cup of tea is not me.  It isn’t you either because we aren’t a jar of Nutella.  If someone doesn’t love us, it isn’t something to get bent out of shape about.  Each of us have our cups of tea or our tribe.
