Parents Start Your Engines

There are so many unknowns when one enters this 'brave new world' of parenting that it is overwhelming at times. Who would've thought that you would have to redefine practically every aspect of human relationships in order to pull it off? Your concepts of life and living are not open for debate or 'under review' when you are a single adult, but alas that is anything but the case when you have a family and are raising kids. It seems as if 'compromise' is the 'word of the day' from here on out.
A big one is on how to raise a child, not on the basic morals that you wish to instill in them, but on HOW to go about that. It has to be consistent. Both parents need to use the same methodology because these little creatures will capitalize on that if there is a discrepancy. Getting on the same page can sometimes become a bigger task for parents than you would've thought.
If you are childless it's easy to miss this requirement of the parenting adult. Conflict resolution must be faced, reworked and ironed out. Any relational area of need is highlighted in such a way that you're sure not to miss it. 'High school' venting and immature problem solving skills will not fly this kite, guaranteed.
Parents start your engines for a self initiated ride of discovery and revolution.
