I have no idea what it must be like in this woman's head. I honestly would like to smack her in the head and tell her to pull herself together lol If she was my friend that is exactly what I would do haha. This isn't a question of parenting style, this is anxiety on her part which results in potential problems with her child because she isn't thinking straight. Her husband is the polar opposite and while I understand he likely just wants to support her so she feels better, I wish he would tell her otherwise when she is blowing things out of proportion that would be more supportive versus reinforcing her overthinking of things when its totally wrong.
