Welcome to Nertra vs. Nertra.

Our question of the day, will my child hate me if I love death metal?

Today we'll meet two Air Force Specialist parents, Kim as a medical technician and

microfiber fighter.

Recent new drive assignments meant a move from a warm to a cold climate and to a community

where there are no other military families close by.

The only person Kim and Mike see in the neighborhood on a regular basis, the sitter who comes

when they are both at work.

Kim and Mike have three sons, a 12-year-old biological child, and an 8- and 11-year-old

both adopted from foster care after having been homeless.

We'll learn about the common tangle between a tired parents' inner child and a bright

child's inner baby.

So asynchronous development in kids, confuses and confounds adults, and come to understand

the spirituality of late-night buffalo chicken wings with ramen.

Finally, two new untranslatable words, one in Hawaiian that vividly captures the experience

of instant forgetfulness of information best remembered, and a Japanese word coined

when a 14th century shogun broke his favorite T-bowl.

First ed disclaimer, what you are about to listen to is not a professional counseling

session.

Each episode is a one-time conversation and the advice I offer does not constitute psychological

treatment or services substitute for professional diagnosis, intervention, or behavioral health

care.
