DH and I have two DCs, our DC1 has fairly extreme additional needs (by which I mean very challenging).
In theory we are on the same page about how to parent both DCs and we are able to sit down and have a reasonable discussion about DC2 almost all the time, it's a mixture of "I'm tearing my hair out over X" and "well done DC2 on Y" and "I told DC2 we'd do Z, back me up please".
With DC1 it's much more tricky. We have a plan in place but it requires everyone to be totally calm and never deviate from the plan as he's a master boundary pusher and loves negative attention, has ADHD so gets hugely excited from any hint of chaos and escalates.
DH says he feels I tell him what to do and I feel he makes plans without telling me what he's planning, shouts too much (OK I shout a bit but I'm much more zen than I used to be) and isn't on the same page re some things like screen time.
We are a good couple most of the time, DH has always been very sweet, supports my work (he's retired), we both understand each other's need for a break, and we both try to make sure the other is happy.
Apart from the "flop down on the sofa exhausted" phenomenon we communicate well, and a lot, though DH does say he gets annoyed when I ask him to talk about things later when small ears aren't earwigging.
Does anyone have any recommendations for counsellors (either Relate/similar nationwide organisation, or how to find another counsellor in person, or an online counsellor), and how to approach them about this issue?
