| Dec 9, 2015 at 5:22 | comment | added | AmericanUmlaut | I disagree very strongly with the suggestion that you should present a united front to children. My wife and I make a point of discussing our disagreements together with the children (3 and 5), even when the subject is rules or discipline. I believe this helps them to understand how people can overcome their differences and also lets them understand the reasons for the rules that we set for them. We do emphasize presenting a united front in actually enforcing the decisions that we make, but that doesn't mean we hide the process of arriving at consensus from the children. | |

| Dec 8, 2015 at 7:52 | comment | added | user13107 | If parents "disagree" on some issues, and talk things out, it may give child a lesson in how to disagree with someone. I don't see why that would be a problem. | |
| Dec 8, 2015 at 7:49 | comment | added | Kim Morrison | I find the idea that parents must "agree together" strange. Real people don't always agree! Resolving disagreements is far more useful than not having them. I think it also tends to result in an "us against them" mentality between parents and children. | |
