Dh and I disagee quite a bit. We were raised compmetely opposite. For the most we just kind of know when one person feels so strongly about something that nothing will change our minds and we just go with it. For the most part I do the parenting, so I choose how it goes. For day to day to day stuff like dh would implement eat what is served for dinner or go to bed hungry, but meal time is my area so he doesnt care I am a softiem
For instance ds hates soccer and dh insists he doesnt quit and I know he would never budge on this and we are sucking it up and riding it out. Now dh would probably just sign him up again if ds said yes and I know ds hates it and the whole family is hating it including dh so I have set my foot down about no sports until at least next fall, maybe longer. Ds is just not into stuff like that right now. I can read that on him. Dh has no idea. When you ask a 5 yr old if they want to do something, they cant really think if it is really going to be a good idea or not. So dh feels strongly about not quitting and I respect that and I am feeling strongly about no sports until they get a bit older and dh respects that.
We just know neither of us can be swayed when we are serious and we just dont dont even try.
