Can a relationship work with 2 people that have different parenting styles?

April 29th, 2010

I have been with my girlfriend since her child was 2 years old. When I met her she was very passive when it came to discipline. Her child is 6 now and things still seems out of hand. We have different parenting styles and we often bump heads. My GF sees her child do things that are inappropriate and turns the other cheek. She likes to chuck up her child’s actions as being age appropriate but I beg to differ. I am the type of parent that will love my child to death but put them in check or give them a spanking if they need one. This causes us to have arguments and I just let her do things her way because that is her child. But then I feel like she has accepted me into her and child’s life. Shouldn’t that count for somethng although I’m not the biological parent? My GF often gets frustrated with her child because they are rude and rebelling and I grow frustrated with the both of them. I can’t stand the woman I’m in luv with to be disrepected by her child. How can we be a team?

I am more strict and structured than he is and I’m trying to convince him to go to parenting classes….he is stand-offish about it. How do we handle this?
