Fights That Are A Waste Of Time, But End Marriages
Good parent/bad parent
One parent always says yes to the kids’ demands, leaving the other to be the “bad cop/bad parent.” The problem here is the bad cop thinks the good cop is trying to make the bad cop look bad. They aren’t; they just adore their children and have a hard time saying no. It’s about their love of their kids, not their dislike of their spouse. Keeping that in mind can keep this argument from escalating.
