Ridiculous Expectations

Everyone, to some degree, has expectations. You expect your day to go a certain way or for someone to respond in a specific manner. You have expectations of your kids, your spouse, and just about everything in life. Which is normal, as long as you can learn to let go of your expectations for the people in your life to be themselves.

While it’s good to want your kids and their spouses to be successful, that doesn’t always mean you know what’s best for them or know what will make them happy. One mother-in-law took her expectations to a ridiculous extreme by threatening to call the cops to check her son into a psychiatric hospital. All because he worked at a tech job rather than become a lawyer.
