JadeStar Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I have a friend who has been married now for almost 3 years. She entered into the marriage with a great guy who has 2 small kids from a previous marriage. The mother of the kids are not in the picture. Not sure what the deal is, but I think she was unfit and they gave custody to the father. They are in the best possible place as far as I see. My friend loves them as if they were her own. They call her mom etc. We were talking about discipline one day as one of their kids, the youngest is a live wire to say the least. She was telling me how her and her husband are both on the same page as far as discipling the kids etc. Her husband never comes behind her and undermines or un does what she has done and vice versa. They seem to understand and communicate well to each other the things that go on with their kids/discipling etc. I think thats wonderful because so many parents are in conflict or not on the same page with one another about their kids. She made the comment to me before that she wouldn't be able to tolerate her and her husband not being on the same page about things. That she feels its very important to be on the same page on things such as the kids, so kids wont get mixed signals. And that she was thankful they were. So how many of you parents are on the same page together as far as your kids go?How much work was involved in getting you both to where you're finally on the same page, or was there just that understanding from the beginning? I think me and my hubby are pretty much on the same page, but still need to work on a few things. Jade
