What steps can we take if one parent consistently disagrees with the agreed-upon guidelines and discipline measures, leading to inconsistent enforcement?
If one parent consistently disagrees with the agreed-upon guidelines and discipline measures, it is important to first attempt to address the issue through open dialogue. Both parents should revisit the parenting plan together to discuss the reasons behind the disagreements and try to seek common ground. Engaging a neutral third party, such as a mediator or family counselor, can facilitate constructive discussions and help reach a mutually acceptable resolution that prioritizes the children's best interests.
