Scenario

When couples' different backgrounds create conflict about shared decisions

My romantic partner and I have been talking about having kids but we come from really different class backgrounds and we keep having fights about money that are actually about what kind of life we want to create for our children. She grew up wealthy and sees private school and music lessons as necessities while I see them as luxuries that create inequality, but we both want to be good parents.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to build something together while operating from fundamentally different assumptions about what constitutes care, safety, and responsibility.
