I’m happily married. My husband is respectful and helpful in almost all regards. I would rate myself about 90% satisfied. This post is about the other 10%. My husband is on the autism spectrum and struggles with time blindness, as well as a complete indifference toward societal expectations. Punctuality and politeness are likely his least favorite traits of mine.

I remember laying in bed, miserable, unable to get up for my college class. This was twenty years ago, but I remember these times vividly. Because it didn’t happen once, I’d miss class after class until the fog lifted and I could roll out of bed. Reflecting on those times, I wonder how I might have handled being a parent while struggling with depressive episodes.

A mother recently sent her son to school with a small bag of snacks. Later that day, she got a note written on her son's mini-pringles carton, lecturing her on making healthier food choices for her son.

Being a new parent is already a challenging experience, but it becomes even more overwhelming when grandparents overstep their boundaries and try to take control. A recent post on Reddit shed light on a situation where the in-laws went to extreme lengths to assert their authority over their grandchild. This disturbing behavior raises concerns about the emotional well-being and autonomy of the parents, and it highlights the need to establish clear boundaries. As a parenting expert, I feel compelled to address this issue and provide advice for anyone facing similar challenges.

I have frustrations about my overbearing parents, particularly my bipolar father who constantly brings up religion and criticizes my husband and me for not being religious enough. Today, another explosive incident occurred in our nuclear family. Lately, my husband and I have been dealing with an immense amount of stress, and my parents are well aware of it.

My dad wagged his finger and spoke sternly, saying, “The only thing you need to do is show the kid the ways of Christ.”

Today, four of us including my husband and child gathered around the dining table, and we had a cake divided into eight pieces.
