What do people do when their spouse has an opposite view to parenting techniques? My DH either doesn't support things I say, or openly disagrees with me in front of our DC. For example, don't run down the pavement', or 'wear shoes outside', or 'try not to touch things' (for example if we're in a museum or shop full of delicate and breakable things). I'm fairly laid back, but there are certain things I'm trying to teach our DC that have boundaries. But my DH doesn't agree with me on these type of things - he just stays quiet, or (worse) starts arguing with me in front of our DC, saying I'm wrong, or that's not quite accurate, or it doesn't matter. What do other people do? It makes me feel like I'm being too strict - but I only say this type of thing when it's things that matter or could have consequences - children need boundaries sometimes don't they?!
