I believe that the first step to raising kids is to agree with your spouse the form of discipline to use. As a teacher, I have learned that the twin of the word discipline is consistency It could not be a "yes" today then a "no" tomorrow or a "yes" from the mom and a "no" from the Dad. It has to be fixed. It has to be consistent. It has to be the same. The husband and wife have a agree.
So talk about it and discuss what discipline method to use. If you can't completely decide on somthing specific, compromise. Meet halfway.
Parenting is difficult and it is more challenging if the mom and dad are not one in raising their kids. Trust me, you would not want to confuse your children so I am sure you can agree on something!
