There's nothing like parenting a teenager to bring out the parenting differences (that haven't been that difficult to navigate up until now).

If you and your spouse are not on the same page about how to deal with teenage risk-taking behaviors, giving consequences, schoolwork, chores, dating, etc., it can make for a very contentious atmosphere at home.

Listen to today's episode where I a) walk you through several negotiation tactics to help your spouse come around to your kinder way of parenting, and b) give you some tips on how to decrease the arguments and make things more consistent for your teenager (even if you can't get them over to your side).
