[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My husband and I decided to try a parenting class together.

We are really confused by one thing - whenever we have researched this before, we do see this debate that came up in the thread here as well: "Your kid keeps it together at school and acts out at home because home is a safe space, so she needs comfort/empathy/support to learn skills" OR "Your kid only acts out at home because you're shit parents who don't discipline."

These are polar opposites, so which is it???

FWIW, she does get both love AND consequences, minimal screens and junk food, and sleep. However, unlike school, our life is not very predictable, each day is a little is different, our work hours change, we have different social plans, errands, house projects, etc. Same lifestyle and parenting worked fine for the older kid, so I don't think either of us are crap parents. We just got a very hard kid after an easy one and are taking it out on each other. Just bad luck. [/quote]

Neither is true. Parenting doesn’t magically change a child’s temperament and prevent all problems. It’s just a way to blame parents. [/quote]
