Care & Feeding: Im Struggling to Love My Daughter
On this episode: Lucy, Zak, and Elizabeth answer a tricky question from a listener who\u2019s struggling to feel love for her daughter. Mismatched neurodivergence might be to blame\u2026 but what is a parent to do when they don\u2019t feel connected with their kids? How can they work on translating irritation into love \u2014 and grappling with the guilt of not feeling like a good parent?\xa0\n\nWe also check in on what\u2019s happening in the hosts\u2019 lives right now... And then, on the Slate Plus Playground, we\u2019re venting (really, complaining) about the slog that is back-to-school shopping.\n\nIf you\u2019re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you\u2019ll consider joining!
