Thank You! Thank You! Thank You Parenting and Emily Bloch for this article!!!
My husband and I both learned from it. I sent it to him at work and he called me as soon as he was finished reading it to say "My way is better...Pthtttt!" This article gave him the confidence that he needs to parent his way and not listen to me telling him to parent my way. AND, I have learned that I must trust the fact that he loves our son and although his way of doing things may not be my way, they are still the right way.
As a matter of fact last night we had company over for St. Patrick's Day dinner and my husband was playing outside with Charlie and I was able to let go of my fear of him hurting himself on the brick steps we have because I knew Daddy was there and although he would let him climb them, he had his back. :)
I encourage all moms and dads who are having issues with not appreciating each other's parenting styles to read this article. It will change the way you parent together and make life so much easier. :)
