Scenario

When couples have fundamentally different parenting philosophies about rules and freedom

My partner and I keep having the same argument about screen time limits for our kids and we're realizing we have completely different ideas about what childhood should look like — I grew up with strict rules and want structure, they think I'm being controlling and want our kids to have more freedom. We're undermining each other constantly and the kids are starting to play us against each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Conflicting childhood experiences have created incompatible visions of good parenting, and the lack of unified approach is destabilizing both the relationship and the family structure.
