How do you handle talking about money and your future with money if your spouse never likes to talk about it. He says we are on the same page, but our financial strain tells differently. I want to be able to have a meaningful conversation and I get nowhere.
Thanks,

Dear Tatiana,
My high school student often does not do his homework or study for tests. Consequently, his grades are poor. I try to let him take responsibility, but he seems to not care. Should I nag and micromanage his school work, or let him fail? He does better when I get involved and remind him to do his work, but how can I get him to take the initiative to do well (or at least adequately) in school?… Read More »

Dear Tatiana,
My son admitted to vaping marijuana a few times. How should we handle?
Signed,
Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
Your job is to respond unemotionally, non-judgmentally, sticking to the facts and the natural consequences. Start with validating the value of his honesty and how that impacts trust in your relationship with him.

Dear Tatiana,
Is it normal for a man not to kiss? Why would someone not kiss ever (his wife)?
Signed,
Asking for a friend
Dear Asking for a friend,
No, it’s not normal for a married man not to kiss his wife ever. There are multiple reasons why this may be occurring. Many men with un-diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorders struggle with physical intimacy (there is a great book that talks about this called 22 Things a Woman Must Know if She Loves a Man with Asperger’s Syndrome written by Rudy Simone), as well as men who have been sexually abused, who are struggling with their sexuality or who may be unhappy in their marriage.… Read More »

Perhaps you’ll make time for a movie or two during Spring Break so I’ve decided y’all might like a short and sweet review of a few flicks I’ve seen lately. I binged watched a few Oscar faves at home a few weeks ago and I went to see an ADORABLE movie last night. I’m most excited about a movie I’m seeing tomorrow with my family: I Can Only Imagine….more… Read More »

My kids have had the best time making fun of me for signing up to take an iPhone Photography class. I’m kind of a nerd and am tech savvy regardless of being old enough to be their mom. Wait, I am their mom. They warned me I’d be the youngest in my class and couldn’t wait to find out the class demographics. … Read More »
