When you're pregnant there's a lot of agreeing and planning but until you're in the situation there's no telling where you'll be. Eric's very much tough love and wanting Charlie to do a lot himself. I'm very attachment parenting and very hands on. We were on the same page in the beginning but as we both started expecting different things and wanting different things, our opinions started to clash.
I am super grateful that Eric is my opposite on some issues because it means we're looking at things differently and covering all the angles. We don't let our differences become points of contention because at the end of the day we both want Charlie thriving and happy.
Eric loves our little guy just as much as I do and loves to just snuggle up with him too; when he frustrates me or seems hard hearted I just remind myself of that and it eases the sting.
