My DP and I have been together 6 years after Christmas. We have 4 kids between us! He has 2 girls (the eldest 2) and I have 2 boys.
We have a nice house, good standard of living and our kids have mainly always got along. The kids are now 15, 13, 13 & 10.
How we parent the kids has been the only thing we argue/disagree about. He is quite strict whereas I am more easy going. He has higher expectations than me and because I work with kids as a teacher I think I'm more tolerant.
I've arranged a counselling session for us as I think it would help us deal with the DC better and help our relationship too. The first session is free but after that it's £60 for an hour, so not cheap. He's willing to go but I don't think he's 100% convinced it will help.
Has anyone done it? How did it help?
