Talk about your methods and desires. If you can't agree on one way or the other, seek compromise.

Talk about it, don't fight. Sit down and discuss what things you want, and explain why you think that is the best way. Try negotiate, or at least just do it as you go, because all children's needs are different and any plans you have for your child's future may not work out anyway.

If you and a partner have differences on how to raise a child, there could be chaos and overwhelming feelings on what to do. And the child will be the one to suffer from being caught in the middle and not having proper structure and going through two sets of rules and regulations. You could sit down with one another and try to devise a written plan with the rules you both set forth together. If you feel that you cannot do this together and its not making progress, try to speak with a family counselor to help guide you though your feelings over the areas of conflict.

Everyone will have their own perspective on bringing up children of their own. Its good if you guys can sit and discuss it before applying it on your kids. Cause you do not want the kids to be emotionally confused.
