[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, don’t your sense of self. 
Most humans ARE social and need community socialization.  Don’t let an introvert or aspie or homebody isolate you and your kids.

Yes that means you will be in charge of handling any family holidays, traditions, athletic teams, vacations, family friend gatherings. Don’t expect your seclusive spouse to care about any of that, maybe just for photo ops with his kids. Dig into also if his folks didn’t care about or do any of that. Sometimes the mom is too overwhelmed to do it, other times she’s introverted or other things and doesn’t care. So the kids miss out on basic experiences. So what. She thinks going to the library or hanging out at the sheet music shop after school is the way to go. [/quote]

I thought my spouse grew up poor since they never took actual vacations- only house guested at grandmas house, never played sports, only had 5 shirts and 3 slacks, and mainly took piano lessons and studied. They didn’t do Xmas presents either.

Find out years later the parents are cheap but loaded with $5m and cash cow rental properties but also are all on the autism spectrum so don’t care about socializing, vacations, life experiences, eating out, sports, trying new foods or anything they aren’t already fixated on. They also think anyone who doesn’t do exactly what they do for their meal rituals or their days at home on screens or books are “crazy.”  Sports for kids are also “unnecessary.” As are bday parties or cake or presents. No need. Beach trips? Stupid. You bought a new gift in London on a trip? How dumb, could have sewn that yourself. [/quote]
