Mother's Day is a great time to commit to a goal for the year as a mother, like.. be less judgmental, be more present, work on patience, accept your kids for who they are, have more fun, share more about who you are vs just a workhorse, model a loving marriage for the kids!

This question made me wonder: do divorced men typically do something for Mother's Day? H/t @DrPsychMom

this is often the epiphany moment!!

Wife bakes cookies. Secure man: thanks honey, these are delicious Preoccupied man: you always bake the kids' favorite not mine Avoidant man: I'm watching my carbs none for me Fearful avoidant man: I hate cookies, are these for your boss???? I know you want him

If you're looking for a referee... Therapy isn't that

@Her_Nonymous_D You lock the door when you leave. Daughter could have texted roommate or gone to the RA. I tried to read a few times to see why roommate would even be mentioned here. If the roommate came home and the daughter was out, she would lock up behind her as usual

Parents, I need real opinions on this because I’m genuinely torn. Imagine your daughter is away at college, living in a shared dorm. One day she steps out of her room and accidentally leaves her key inside. It happens. She’s not being reckless, just human. While she’s out, her roommate comes back, drops her things off, and then leaves again… but locks the door behind her. Now your daughter is stuck outside, locked out of her own room, probably stressed, maybe embarrassed, trying to figure out what to do next. So here’s the question, who do you even get upset with in that situation? On one hand, your daughter forgot her key. That’s on her. It’s one of those small mistakes that turns into a big inconvenience, and part of growing up is learning to double-check things like that. But on the other hand, the roommate knew it was a shared space. Would it have hurt to at least check if…

in a difficult marriage, the producer tends to feel that the consumer is uninteresting, shallow, and stuck in old ways of thinking vs evolving and growing. the consumer thinks the producer is stressful to be around, is a workaholic, and doesn't know how to relax.

Brand new post out today! can therapy be done every other week? sure- but how quickly does a relationship progress when you see the other person half as much? would you take lessons every other week vs every week if you wanted to learn a skill? buymeacoffee.com/drpsychmom/oft…

If she initiated the marriage and the family then she's likely to initiate divorce! People get tired of creating a relationship unilaterally. Women who were pulling him toward marriage/ kids recognize this preoccupied attachment was unhealthy and want to experience mutual love

when you hate boredom... even doing the same thing for 10 minutes can feel impossible and frustrate a partner who then cannot achieve orgasm.

these are issues I see in marriages where at least one partner has ADHD. this is one of the hardest types of marriage. verywellmind.com/adhd-and-its-e…
