Everyone obviously wants to be a good parent, but the definition of “good parenting” isn’t as black and white as it seems. Everyone has their own set of parenting styles they use, which mostly come from the example they were shown when they were a child and growing up. However, those parenting styles might not necessarily be compatible with other parenting styles and could cause potential disagreements when it comes to parenting decisions. It is important to find a person with similar ideas and values when it comes to your parenting style, so it’s always good to have these conversations before deciding to start a family if you have the opportunity. You should find a person with the same parenting style to eliminate any disagreements or friction. What parenting style would you best co-parent with?
