In this episode, Jess & Liz welcome their husbands, Reece and Luke to discuss good & bad conflict, experiences of conflict from childhood and how their experiences effect them as fathers today. The couples discuss their biggest arguments and how they got through them in a healthy way (well, as healthy as they can be anyways). Parenting is hard and how you deal with it as a couple, or even as co-parents, can be even harder when there's conflict involved.
