[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brother was king of the school and I was super popular. Why do you think that equals zero issues? Brother was super rebellious and often had girlfriend drama. He stole a car, even.  I had friend and relationship drama, like any kid, while also doing terribly in school because I couldn’t be bothered.

The fixation on "popularity" is befuddling.  OP, if you don't want to work outside the home, maybe you could volunteer at something separate from your DC?  I know this sounds like an enormous step, but it would be good for both of you.  Start with a few hours, and work from there.  I am not trying to be harsh, but I think some gratitude and perspective is in order.  Your world seems too small for you and your DC to thrive properly.  Again, not trying to be harsh, since this is anon.  For you to believe that other people do not have problems, especially if their child is "popular"?  My God. [/quote]

Op never said she doesn’t work. What makes you assume she doesn’t work to have concerns about her child?[/quote]
