AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have too much pressure from my in-laws to attend social functions and attend to other family responsibilities. The kids suffer as I have to leave them to attend these things. Please advise what to do. 👵🏻🙅🏻‍♀️🍂

Initially, the parents and friends may try to pull but later they will respect you for the integrity displayed and for standing by your choices.

Affectionately,

Alok da.
