In today's episode of Raising Adults, Deana and Kira tackle a listener question: What do you do if you are in a parenting team and your partner isn't future focused or doesn't want to be? "It is important that everybody feels seen and heard, but that also that we feel satisfied with the job that we're doing as parents." - Kira Dorrian. "It's not saying that the way the other parent is doing it is wrong. It's just saying, 'Hey, this happens to be important to me, so I'll put those systems in place and help make sure they happen.'" - Deana Thayer Today's discussion includes:
