[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It cracks me up how bent out of shape people are getting about tidying and helping ice the Frozen cupcakes for DD's 2nd birthday party or clean up the pan from cooking the chicken nuggets that everyone rushed home from work to cook the kids for dinner. People are getting in fights and making themselves miserable over the silliest stuff![/quote]

Wrong.

Never being able to rely on your spouse for anything large or small to be done or done right is a terrible way to live.

And once babies, toddlers or young children are in the picture, it’s terrifying. Over the last four years we’ve had:
1) ASD grandpa almost back over the 3 yo who followed him outside to repark his van for no reason (wife stopped it);
2) a heavy door blow shut on the 2 yo fingers in the hinges right in front of the whole aspergers family (wife half stopped the door by racing across house, no permanent nerve damage);
3) 3 yo walk into a pool and go to the bottom while guests screamed at adhd/ASD father to get her (he had no reaction, just sat there, the wife had to put baby down in grass, run and jump in);
4) 6 yo put hanging from 12 foot wall and ASD dad thought the kid could do a pull-up and check it out up there (zero judgement, kid fell straight down skimming bare his chin and fracturing two leg bones);
5) swimming in ocean and ASD dad thought it’d be cool to go out by the snorkelers in the danger zone rip tide with the 7 yo (took other set of grandparents to rescue them both, again zero judgment or situational awareness).

They need a simple, simple, simple life with minimal demands and responsibilities outside of their dogmatic interest(s).
Leaving them alone to their own devices is still a constant mess if living in same house or anything entangled. They certainly do prefer to be left alone all the time though.

This is not at all what the OP was talking about. If all this is true and accurate, which I doubt, then these people are beyond ADD and seem like jerks. Why the wife married into a family like this is beyond me. Maybe she has some sort of savior or martyr complex. Certainly seems like a lot of "wife saved" and "wife stopped" going on in that narrative. But again, OP is not at all talking about stuff like that.
