How do you co parent effectively when one of you is stricter than the other?

[SheABitSpicyToday]

My husband is stricter than I am and it causes some disagreements between us. He had a very different upbringing to me.

If your partner is different to you with parenting, what sort of compromise do you make so everyone’s happy?

Of course it’s not shameful to go to counselling, it’s great that this support was offered to her. But it is very unusual for such a young child to need counselling and it would signal to me that she needs very careful parenting. It doesn’t sound like that’s what she’s getting at the moment with all the fixation on tidy rooms and following rules.

Of course there is no shame in counselling. No one has suggested that.

But it is very very unusual for a child that young to need it.

Which suggests that she needs extra love and support. Which is what everyone is saying.

But you don't want to hear that for some reason
