58. Too Cool for School: The parenting style clash

58. Too Cool for School: The parenting style clash Diane Dierks & Rick Voyles 27:37

Diane & Rick address Patrick’s question about his fear of having structure and rules in his home. He worries that after a couple of years of being the fun house, setting rules now might make his house unattractive to the kids. Meanwhile, his co-parent is having to do the lion’s share of parenting and discipline, and she’s tired of it. Interestingly, both parents worry about losing the kids to the other, given their differences.
