[quote=Anonymous]1. Get on the same page BEFORE about how you want to parent and what you think is right. For instance, bed sharing/co-sleeping beyond the newborn period. If you both are for it and think it's great, wonderful. However, some of the most bitter problem marriages I've seen have been co-sleepers where mom wanted it and dad resented it like hell, everyone was sleep deprived. The few people I know who knew they both wanted to cosleep and did it were happy with it. If it's a plan, it works. If it's a reaction or an attempt to minimize sleep problems in the kid (usually doesn't work anyway) and only mom is on board, big problem. 2. Division of labor: be specific. We had a vague idea that we'd split things but when it came down to it, it wasn't working that way. We had to develop a specific plan and when we did, it worked out better.[/quote]
