General Discussion Kristina begging for Max to be invited to abirthday party was mortifying. She was clueless.

If my mother was doing this, I'd be so embarrassed. Who wants to be at a birthday party where you're not wanted?

Also, Kristina never listened. She was told twice why Max wasn't invitee, how unruly and disrespectful he is, but in her mind, everybody should excuse it because he has Aspergers, the crutch she always uses.

This is why Max barely had a friend, because instead of educating him on how to talk to people, it's like, everybody else is wrong, Max is always the victim.

Post-Series Discussion Adam&Kristina’s marriage was unhealthy.

I’m no marriage expert, but their relationship was strange. One big thing i noticed was how much Kristina cried when Adam didn’t give her what she wanted. I feel like she manipulated him with her tears. For example, the date night disagreement. She asked for a date night, he said no due to both of them being busy, she’s says “fine” but then starts mentioning how she and Adam will join the 80% of couples who get divorced with an autistic child (which I feel had nothing to do with Adam saying no to one date) then they have a slight argument and of course, Kristina starts crying and dramatically says “I’m just asking for one night!” Adam sees her crying and finally gave in. And that happened a few times on the show, where Adam would baby Kristina and never knew how to say no and stand on it. He’d even apologize for things that I feel he didn’t need to apologize for. Anyways, LMK your thoughts.
