My co-parent and I are trying to raise our kids with more awareness about race and social justice than we grew up with, but we're approaching it completely differently and our kid is starting to notice the inconsistency.

More people experience this than they realize.
Shared values don't automatically translate into aligned practices, especially when partners bring different lived experiences to parenting decisions.
