Jami Isidore2 months agoSince the birth of our child, our marriage has been tough. My spouse and I have very different views on how to raise our little one, and we argue about it often. The main issue I’m facing as a parent is that I say "No" more frequently than my spouse, and I believe this is the right way to raise our child. For example, I’ve repeatedly told my spouse that I think screen time is detrimental to toddlers, but instead of listening and finding a middle ground, my spouse ignores my concerns. Worse still, I’m being labeled a "helicopter parent" for wanting to be cautious. At this point, it feels like an ongoing battle to raise our child in a way I think is best, and I sometimes get the sense that my spouse is deliberately going against what I believe, even when it may not be in the child’s best interest. The thought of separation breaks my heart because I fear it would lead to our child being raised in very different environments, and I worry this could have negative effects. If anyone has advice or similar experiences, I would truly appreciate any support. Right now, the situation feels unsustainable. 3724
