Extremes

Every action
has an equal
and opposite reaction
(Push on something
and it pushes back on you
- Sir Isaac Newton
Third law of motion in physics

Many of us live in a different world of opposites - the world of extremes. One mother may love her children too much (and suffocate them). That might be classified as a Yiddishe Mama syndrome. Another mother may hate the daughter-in-law too much.

Children are the same, as shown in the Parenting website. Some love the parents too much, whereas others hate them too much. At least with children it sometimes neutralizes when they reach their twenties.
