[quote=Anonymous]Is she in therapy? It sounds like some anxiety and shopping addiction.

I also think you have mismatched values. As the TigerMom PP mentioned, some people believe their job is to give their kid all the "advantages," by which they mean exclusive education and activities which the masses cannot afford. But other people, like me, believe that we already experience abundance, and we don't need to buy into elitism, and that our kids are more likely to be well-rounded, grounded, compassionate, and world-wise if give them a normal upbringing. If you are at odds with her over this, then it's going to be difficult coparenting, whether you're together or not.

When we have kids, the mothering instinct kicks in and we want to provide them with every advantage. But if we're not mindful about what actually constitutes an advantage, then we can find ourselves spending money we don't have and stressing over what we're providing our kids, when we're already providing them with more than what 99% of the world's children experience. If she could cut through the noise, then maybe you can find out what is the core of her frenzy. Is it fear? And are those fears reasonable, or are they unfounded?[/quote]
