Mya is an introvert with a small family, with whom she is very close.  Her husband, Marcus, has a larger family and friend circle, and enjoys spending time with them. His family often has large parties once or twice a month. When he asks her to accompany him, she drags her feet, stresses and never has a good time.  Marcus thinks she should just come and force herself to have fun, it’s his family and she should be a part of them. She thinks it’s no big deal if she just stays home and doesn’t go. What do you think?

Drew and Isabella’s 15-year-old daughter came home with a hickey. Mom is horrified and thinks they should call the boyfriend’s parents and have a group meeting with both sets of parents and the kids to discuss why this is so embarrassing and inappropriate. Dad says that they already had the talk with their daughter, that should be it. There’s no need to bring his parents in on this, she says that they should know too. It’s not fair that they are in the dark when they have to deal with it because it’s their daughter.

Louie is furious because his wife, Daniella, asked his sister to leave their party last weekend. They were having a dinner party with seven couples attending (including his sister and her husband) and it was an adult dinner. His sister took it upon herself to bring her nine-week-old baby. At first, Daniella didn’t say anything but then the baby just kept crying and it was clearly disrupting their dinner. She then asked her sister-in-law and brother-in law to leave the party. Her husband can’t believe she was so rude; she argues that she was discreet, but they were in the wrong for bringing the baby in the first place. He wants his wife to call and apologize, she refuses and says if anyone is owed an apology it’s her.
