We don't always get it right, and we're still learning, but there are certain things we are intentional about because ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐น๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ.

Even when we're upset, we don't want our children learning that disrespect is how couples communicate.

Disagreements happen. We're not pretending they don't. But whenever possible, we try to handle the difficult parts privately.

We don't want either child feeling like they have to choose sides or carry problems that belong to the adults.

Things like, โLook what you made me do,โ or โYou're making Mummy angryโ may seem harmless, but we want our children to understand that ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐น๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐.
We can teach them consequences without making them feel responsible for our feelings.
