My Wife Is Suddenly Refusing to Keep the Deal We Made About Kids

Slate  

Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. FIL hates kids and constantly talks about how if he had another one he would just let it “get run over by a car” because he’s too old, and their house is generally disgusting and unhygienic. School can sometimes resemble the Hunger Games, but she’d also meet more kids than you could ever introduce her to, and might be more likely there to find “her people.” If that’s not an option that works for Hannah or your family, look for other groups where she can find a niche. These kids are amazing, and I love spending time with them—and I’m lucky enough to be invited to pretty frequently. I fully realize this is a “me problem,” so I’m wondering if there’s a solution that won’t put any responsibility on the kids or make them feel bad.
