I agree too that sometimes I wish I didn't have the responsibility of all the decision making but I am glad I'm on the same wave length with my hubby.<br /><br />The memory you describe of your first talk about parenting reminds me of my first talk with my husband about homeschooling. I'll never forget it because it was so important to me and I was so thrilled when he agreed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720282183373865525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392034857491788011.post-55162796270051579942010-02-11T10:27:31.128-06:002010-02-11T10:27:31.128-06:00How wonderful that both of you meshed so well on t...How wonderful that both of you meshed so well on the parenting front from the very beginning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392034857491788011.post-56772964286605721242010-02-10T20:07:22.971-06:002010-02-10T20:07:22.971-06:00Lovley post.

Amen! Like you, I'm very lucky to have a lot of support in the trenches of motherhood. My friends and family all support my way of parenting. It's only when we branch out that we sometimes stumble across naysayers. Thankfully, I'm growing into my mothering shoes and don't really care what others think about my parenting style. <br /><br />Thanks for the great post.

And I think those little differences are healthy, and even positive, as it helps kids learn how to respond to different people with different views. Once you agree on the essentials, the nuances don't have to matter so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392034857491788011.post-1027824024993047852010-02-09T12:26:05.613-06:002010-02-09T12:26:05.613-06:00I admire you for discussing parenting philosophies...I admire you for discussing parenting philosophies before marriage. Parenting was so far from my mind, we really didn't talk about it before we saw that positive pregnancy test!

I've had the same wish that sometimes he would come up with the parenting ideas for us to follow — I'm always loaning him books and reading quotes to him from websites, not the other way around — but I've discovered that still waters run deep. If prompted, he will talk at length about all the parenting ruminations going through his head.Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392034857491788011.post-54750152864697929662010-02-09T10:14:57.157-06:002010-02-09T10:14:57.157-06:00As long as the two of you agree, whatever works.As long as the two of you agree, whatever works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392034857491788011.post-72065377479661489052010-02-09T09:40:10.332-06:002010-02-09T09:40:10.332-06:00You are making all the right decisions with your p...You are making all the right decisions with your parenting style, I think.

I am also lucky to have a pretty supportive mum. I knew she was on board with the long term breastfeeding when I was struggling to calm my 17 month old daughter down in a cafe the other day. There I was, doing everything I could think of to avoid resorting to the breast, and what did my mum say? "Just give her a feed." As long as you are with supportive people, it's easy not to care what anyone else thinks.Cave Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489375502067939290noreply@blogger.com
