When couples disagree about how much struggle children should face

My husband and I have very different ideas about how much struggle our kids should face — I want to protect them from the financial stress I grew up with, but he thinks that made me soft and wants them to 'earn everything' like he did. We're constantly undermining each other and I can see our kids getting confused about what we actually value.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two parents are transmitting conflicting values about resilience and protection, creating confusion about what strength actually means.
