Question

The wife: My husband and I have a daughter, Ann. She was born five years ago. I am taking good care of her. I like her toys to stay in the playroom. I want to clean up her messy room every night. But Ron doesn’t; he says it isn’t necessary. Often when I get home from work, I find toys all over the living room and Ann jumping off the sofa. I don’t care if Ron is nearby, these activities are unsafe.

The husband: I don’t know what’s wrong with my wife, she was so much fun before, but motherhood(母性) has turned her into a control freak(怪物). Every five seconds it seems Jilly’s checking on Ann to make sure she’s okay, and Jilly never gives Ann a chance to do everyday activities on her own. I want Ann to do some things by herself, if she falls down, I want her to stand up by herself. But Jilly wants to keep her in a bubble（安全罩）. We have many differences on how to raise our child.
