Our tips for resolving parent-child conflict

Being a parent is not easy, and sometimes arguments seem unavoidable. Here are some tips for restoring harmony quickly.

  • Communicate with your child on a daily basis and from a very young age: spend time with them to share their feelings.
  • Because a picture is worth a thousand words, always set an example of good behavior.
  • Stay firm and consistent in your decisions: a child must learn what the limits are.
  • Put aside old conflicts and start afresh.

Having a ton of conflict with my daughters dad about baby names. I’ve only suggested TWO names. Names that I absolutely love and would 100% name her. He hates both of them and can’t explain why. He wants to name our baby something so stereotypically ghetto and I will absolutely not have some made up name for my child. He has given no REAL suggestions he just throws random syllables together and thinks it’s idk…like creative or something? Example: “Nyquelishia sounds pretty” LIKE NO THE FUCK IT DOES NOT! ughhhhh I’m going to lose my fucking mind.

I can’t. I cannot parent with a person who treats me as if I’m not the best mother a child could ever ask for. I cannot parent with a someone who downs each and every single parent skills there are to offer a toddler. I cannot parent with someone who is trying to rip the life I carried and almost died over & I will die for away from me. I cannot parent with someone who was careless and nonchalant and still can be yet somehow they seem to have the system fooled. I cannot parent with someone who smiles at me. It’s not a kind smile it is a hurtful spiteful smile. I cannot parent with someone who hurt me in all kinds of ways when others weren’t around. I cannot parent with someone who makes me feel like I’m irrational or crazy because I notice and see things that were never there before. That were never an issue before. Mommies know everything with their babies we are not perfect but our instincts are what gets us and our children through life. The proof and difference in the care and love we give and offer. I cannot do it. I loose hope. It brakes me. I cry so much I should feel relieved when all I feel is my heart being broken and squeezed while I scream on the inside. That frogy feeling in my throat as if someone is forcing it closed. It’s that sadness as if you have lost someone. As if you have no more room to fight for anything. I feel all of this and yet I still manage to be a mother and I still walk with faith for my children’s sake. I will never stop fighting but I feel like I’m loosing everything. What hurts more is being pregnant and an innocent life going through and feeling all of what I feel. I cannot do it but I will. God, please fix this.

In the same boat. He is destined to make our son love him more and tells me all the time how he has to “bribe” him to spend time with me
