What do you do when your parenting styles are worlds apart...I am very hands on, I am involved 24/7, I love spending alot of quality time with my kids, I always wanted to be a mom.....on the flip side my DH never planned on having kids, is very uninvolved, not hands on & likes it best when kids are out of his hair...As for discipline I am new school I hate spanking ..he's old school he thinks other discipline does not work...I think parents in blended famlies should ONLY discipline their BC..How do other SP feel...?
