Scenario

When single parent siblings disagree about parenting approaches

My sister and I are both single moms now and we keep saying we'll help each other out but we each parent so differently that our kids come back from staying with the other aunt with questions we don't know how to answer. We're dancing around the fact that we fundamentally disagree about discipline, screen time, and what kids should know about why their dads aren't around.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who need each other's support are discovering that their core beliefs about child-rearing are incompatible, forcing them to choose between honesty and harmony.
