Be careful of anyone who calls your boundaries “drama.” The drama was there before the boundary.

Labelling a limit as drama is a way of avoiding the thing itself. The disagreement existed before you said anything; what changed is that it became visible, and the person most inconvenienced names the visibility as the problem. Calm requests do not create conflict. They reveal conflict that was already running quietly underneath.

When you hear that word, restate the request once in the flattest terms you can manage and leave the accusation alone. Notice who turns out to be fine with your limits, and spend more time there.
