Want to answer the parent question as it is very interesting.
Unfortunately
As a child to now
my dad seemed to over rely on my opInion (over my mother’s.. she was ignored in her input no matter what!)
EG when he got a job offer in another country he wd ask ME whether he shd take it n whether the whole family shd move with him or stay behins
this was bad because
1. It pressured me to try and come up with the decision best suited to everyone and wd make both parents happy
2. It made me feel guilty knowing my dad should be consulting me only as a formality if at all, and should give precedence to my mom
3. Power imbalance made my mom feel unstable like no matter what logic n experience she cited my dad wd ignore it. This probably created a lpt of
repressed anger and depression in her
Also it made the family dynamics dysfunctional and caused resentment
4. Any negative effects of my choice (which was made after consulting with those i trusted eg Mom, elder female cousin )
I felt extremely guilty about and was also blamed fr by my siblings.
So its not that good

I am bad at numbers I believe I have ‘hyperlexia’ though which makes ppl thinj i am smarter than i am n also doubt the ASd diagnosus. Words n reading open up realms that wd be closed to an ASd person otherwise
Same Q
That sounds pretty horrible. Putting that kind of pressure on a kid should pretty obviously be seen as a bad idea. Also, I've never been married before but as far as I can tell, spouses are often referred to as a partner for a reason. I do know the feeling of guilt as a result of negatove consequences of the choices I've made, which makes me incredibly sympathetic, even though I can't really figure out how to best express that. It does suck when people think you're smarter than you are. I'm better with words than numbers myself, so I guess I answered my own question, but in case someone else hasn't already answered yet by the time I'm done typing this, I'll just say same question.
