Parents of the Year

65. How do parents avoid making their partner the "bad guy" with the kids


Listen Later

Nobody likes being put in the position of being the "bad guy" when it comes to parenting. It's those moments when we unintentionally make our partner feel like the villain, leaving us all feeling tangled in a web of emotions. 

It is important to manage those tricky situations effectively, mastering the art of making judgment calls when caught off guard by our kids, creating a safe space where both parents can comfortably make decisions without the fear of being the bad guy,  and strengthening the bond with your partner.

Join Andrew and Caroline as they share personal experiences of the "bad guy" syndrome and discuss the importance of communicating effectively, developing a shared decision-making approach, and avoiding unintentionally casting blame or guilt on each other.
