Some couples start discussing the parenting issues while their first newborn is on its way while others face it when the right time comes. Parenting issues usually differ because of the varied family background of the parents. For instance, let say the father came from a family that used to live from hand to mouth and the norm was that everyone including young ones and elders should earn and pool in money to keep the circle going. In contrast, the mother came from a family which had a housekeeper.
This is the most common phenomena faced by most couple. Here, the father would try that his children should be used to do their own work as soon as possible while mom would be of opinion that the children should not be given a tough time.
Parents should try their best to resolve such issues, otherwise it can be dismay for their children and ruin their relationship.
