The Hell Of Being Married To A Yes-Man
[[link removed]] 
You might think it’s easy being married to somebody who’s so easygoing, such a
people pleaser, that he never argues with you. Think again, says Katie
Arnold-Ratliff! In her latest, she lays out the case against this dynamic — and
offers some ways to fix it. 

But first: On Friday, we ran a story by a mom who made a bunch of adorable
toddlers cry

with a botched Easter egg hunt. I asked you all for similar disaster stories,
and I got a good one. Janelle wrote to us about her son’s fifth birthday party,
held at a local park: “One of the games we decided on required each child to tie
an inflated balloon to their ankle. (I used curling ribbon to make it festive!)
The children then ran around and tried to stomp on and pop the other children’s
balloons. The child with the last remaining inflated balloon is the winner.” 

So far, so fun. Except: “Well, I didn’t realize that the kids would cry when
their balloons were popped! So by the end of the game seventy-five percent of
the children were running around, crying, with a piece of colored curling ribbon
tied to their ankles!” Absolutely classic. We’re always here for your fails,
your successes, and your questions, big and small: [email protected]

Oh God, My Kid Is Just As Stubborn As Me
[[link removed]] 
This piece opens on a dinner-table standoff between Chandima Kelsey and her
five-year-old daughter: “She crossed her arms. Pouted. Kicked the table. Glared
some more through what remained of her soft, bouncy baby curls.” Kelsey wondered
where all this attitude came from… until she realized the answer was no mystery.
Sounds extremely familiar to me personally!
