One mom found herself dealing with this issue after she and her husband disagreed on whether their young son should be grounded. One day, a neighbor came over to say that he had stolen her grandson's bike.
The dad confronted his son, who insisted this was wrong, and decided to punish him. However, it turned out that it was actually the neighbor's grandson who had taken his son's bike.
On this basis, the mom felt that her son didn't need to be grounded and that the dad should apologize to him, but he doubled down and insisted that he still needed to be disciplined. They got into an argument, and the mom wanted to know if she was right or not.

AITAH for telling my husband I’d rather raise a kid who stands up for themselves than one who blindly obeys?

Mom defends 6-year-old son after dad insists on grounding him for protesting that he didn't steal his 8-year-old neighbor's bike: 'He needs to listen, even when he doesn't agree'
Many people struggle to align with their long-term partner when it comes to kids. These days, the question of whether both people want to have them at all is often difficult enough, and if they do, then come the challenges of making sure that parenting styles are aligned. It is often said that having children changes people, or at least brings out parts of them that others may not have seen so much before. It means that people can sometimes be surprised and even frustrated with the approach that a co-parent takes on even the smallest of issues.
One topic that can be particularly fraught is how to discipline kids. It's not uncommon for two parents to take on good cop/bad cop roles, but sometimes this can manifest in a disagreement. This is a hurdle that is important to overcome for those who hope to parent their kids harmoniously.
