Quiz: Your Parenting Style

In Episode 9 we chat about Fighting Fair with your partner and some useful ways to go about ‘talking it out’. Every relationship has its ups and downs – it’s inevitable. Hopefully our discussion is a good reminder of how to disagree with your partner in a way that’s productive and not hurtful to the relationship! It all takes work! Should you have any tips or tricks for us, we’d love to hear them!

We also took this fun quick from Fatherly.com to find out our parenting style! (Sidenote: Keep in mind this was just for fun and not all that psychologically based – but hey, it’s just fine to have a little fun sometimes right?!). After answering the 9 short and easy questions it will spit our your parenting style. We were shocked when it identified us because based on all of the options it absolutely nailed our personalities and approaches to parenting! Sarah was labeled The Realistic which is someone who takes a methodical and stragetic approach to parenting (so true!). And Lauren came back as The Optimist, someone who sees the magic in childhood and doesn’t necessarily have a problem with breaking the rules every now and then in order to give her children a good experience.

This was so fun! Take a look at the website here and take the quiz for yourself! Are you The Maverick? The Entertainer? Or maybe The Snuggler? Then let us know on Instagram what your parenting style was, we’d love to hear back from you what it was!
