Two Parenting Styles, One Family, and Conflicting Boundaries.

What do you do if your co-parent parents very differently than you do? What if they can’t tolerate your kids' pushback and hold boundaries in the same way as you? And how do you stop feeling resentful in your marriage? This is such a common parenting problem. Dr. Becky talks to a mom struggling to get on the same page as her partner.

I wish i heard this 8 years ago. After so long of not having a legitimate conversation of how we parent together I feel like we have no options. We now have to tackle this separated while living together. It is a struggle. Thank you for this

She said her husband isn't always there. The issue may be him feeling guilty he is left out so he caves. There seems to be a need to communicate with the husband. A good understanding of this would be viewing your relationship with someone else's kid who you barely see but the child loves hanging out with you and respects you. I think the mother is struggling to understand her own internal conflicts, it comes off as her being jealous. Best thing to do in the situation is meet the child at their level. If the child loves when daddy gets home, you love it too 😂..... Dad would feel so loved he gives the power back to you. When the child asks for something, dad will redirect the child to ask mommy. 2 parenting household struggles are way easier than being problematic and separating. Separation of the parents is the real problem. 2 different households causes a rift and that's where the real power struggle comes in.

Oh rascal children of Gaza,
You who constantly disturbed me with your screams under my window,
You who filled every morning with rush and chaos,
You who broke my vase and stole the lonely flower on my balcony,
Come back -
And scream as you want,
And break all the vases,
Steal all the flowers,
Come back,
Just come back…
