Family & Partnership

Raising children is a responsible and enjoyable task. However, it can become a burden if parents have different ideas when it comes to rules and consequences, for example. Then it's easy to say: "But I'm allowed to do that with mom!" or "Dad is much less strict!". And there's already a conflict in the room. But do parents always have to pull together when it comes to parenting?

First of all, it's completely normal for parents to disagree when it comes to parenting. Familienportal.NRW has compiled information and useful suggestions to prevent these differences of opinion from becoming a constant source of contention and jeopardizing family coexistence.
