I am not a parent, but I do know how it feels to have a Minimalist Mother and I assure you, the fact that you wrote this post at all removes you from anywhere near my experiences with mine. I won't go into detail, but the fact that your son sees you on a regular basis outside your bedroom and not with the express purpose of reaming you out for something ELSE he's done to displease you or what have you, alone scores you many points. The fact that you are considering any of this at all scores you even more points. I don't know how to explain exactly how it feels to be told explicitly that I am to blame for every bit of tension in my mother's household, but the fact that I see none of that here tells me you are not a Minimalist Mom -- and by Minimalist, I also include taking responsibility for the way your life has played out whether you liked it or not, among other things
