One Percent Better

One Percent Better 041 | Understanding Co-Parenting Differences: When Trust, Control & Ego Collide


Listen Later

In this episode of One Percent Better, the conversation turns to one of the most difficult realities of parenting: what happens when two people love the same child—but raise them very differently.

The crew unpacks how parenting styles clash around trust, control, consistency, and authority—and why those tensions often have less to do with the child and more to do with unresolved ego, absence, or fear. This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about navigating differences without letting conflict become collateral damage.

They explore:

  • Why “being on the same page” is harder than it sounds
  • The difference between intention and consistency
  • How authority in parenting is earned, not assumed
  • The invisible emotional labor of the primary parent
  • When control is about safety—and when it’s about ego
  • Why presence matters more than promises
  • How to choose the child even when it feels unfair

This episode doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, it asks better questions—about accountability, trust, and what it really means to co-exist for the sake of a child.

“Not every disagreement is about parenting… sometimes it’s about power.”“You don’t get to lead where you haven’t been present.”“Putting the child first often means putting your pride down.”

This is a conversation for parents, co-parents, and anyone trying to unlearn the idea that love alone is enough. Growth happens when responsibility, humility, and communication meet in the middle.

That’s One Percent Better.
