Parenting Styles: Is Your Relationship Over When You Disagree on Parenting the Kids?

As a couples therapist specializing in parenting issues, I often see parents who disagree about how to raise their children. The most common of these disagreements revolve around how to discipline their children.

Arguments about how to discipline kids can be about whether it’s too much or too little discipline. Sometimes, one of the parents may feel their child is taking advantage of them, while the other parent thinks that more discipline will only create unnecessary conflict. Sadly, each parent can begin to feel they are undermining one another.
