[quote=Anonymous]Ask yourself what hill you want to die on. Generally, I have found I am far more likely to compromise than my DH on parenting matters. So I pick and choose my battles with him and I generally concede to whatever he wants, even when I disagree, because it’s not worth a massive argument. I routinely ask, is it more important to be right or happy (and married)? That said, one of the downsides of having more engaged dads and two working parents is that often moms are no longer the default parent, which was how it was for my family and most families I knew growing up. That made it much easier for parenting decisions, since my mom ran the household and did the lion’s share of parenting and my dad only swooped in for disciplining. I think having two parents who are both evenly involved in running a home and raising a kid means a lot more areas to have to negotiate and compromise over, which is something I find exhausting.
