One parent is over coddling the child because they came from better financial circumstances.
It's just the evolution, right?
We all understand what I'm saying.
And the other parent is not overly angry about this, but it's like, fuck, I don't want my husband or wife to create entitled, you know, kids.
And I think it's a vulnerability and it leads to unhappiness.
Let me go all the way over here and
And that's going to get my kids in the middle.
And what this psychiatrist said to me was, they were talking to like eight of us.
We were just having dinner.
It was just a natural talk.
It was just a general talk.
They said, what that parent needs to do is not go all the way to the left or right to get the kid to the middle.
They themselves need to go all the way to the middle.
And then that has a better chance.
And I was like, wow.
Because again, with the luck of the draw and the way I lived life and how I love psychology and all this stuff, there's just not a lot of things that have happened in the last 15 years where I was like, oh, that's profound.
But this one was, which is, if you and your spouse see it completely different,
and you really want to help your kids, and you're concerned that the one parent is taking a toot, let's use left or right, blue or red, whatever you want to do, your natural instinct is to go to the other side like a seesaw and create a weighted balance, but what you actually have to do is go to the actual middle.
You have to be purple, not the counter red or blue, and that actually has a higher chance of creating your child to get to that place.
