Three Ways to Respond to "I Hate You"

When your kid yells “I hate you” or acts out in some other way, it’s hard enough to deal with that situation, but when you and your partner disagree on how to respond, it makes it that much harder. Parenting with a partner who is skeptical or disagrees with your approach is hard and tiring. It's also common. This week, Dr. Becky addresses the challenges of parenting with a skeptical partner and gives tools for how co-parents can learn to speak the same language.

And Dr. Becky hears all the time from parents that there are so many things they want to do that just don't fit into their budget, and it can feel kind of powerless.
