In this episode, Neil is joined by co-host Robin Holland. Together they respond to a Mom who does everything in the home for her husband and three young teens. Mom grew up in a family where everyone pitched in and can't understand why the family she's raising is so separated and disconnected. Her kids are good kids and doing well, so Mom wonders if her desire for more connection and support is reasonable.

Robin and Neil explore the changes in family life in today's world, yet they are validating Mom's needs and expectations. Neil shows Mom how to create the desired changes in her family without engendering resistance.
