Scenario

When couples parent from completely different love languages

My partner and I parent so differently that our eight-year-old has started playing us against each other, and we can't figure out how to be united without one of us feeling like we're betraying our deepest instincts about what love looks like. We both want what's best for her but we can't agree on what that even means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same child are discovering that their definitions of protective love may be incompatible.
