[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We discussed things before having kids so we would be on the same page. [/quote]

Yup. Not on the first date, and not lengthy conversations, but I picked a spouse who was compatible to me in lots of ways, parenting included. In lots of ways we are ying/yang, but not for important parenting things.[/quote]

This sounds so absurd to me. So let's say you find out that you're not on the same page with the guy you love when it comes to parenting. Are you really going to throw in the towel?

And of course, pre-kids partners have great ideas about how they're going to parent. I can't imagine any guy saying, 'well, i plan to be a dick and not do anything to help you, and also i don't think carseats are important.' of course not.

the idea that you could actually avoid parenting style inconsistencies by simply discussing these things before you decide to have kids is just ridiculous. and the implication that if you find yourself in a situation like the OP's, then it's your own fault for not vetting your SO before kids, is equally stupid.
