When we disagree

So the boy isn't dealing with the new school year as well as we had hoped, but better than last year.  We went from 1/2 day Kindergarten, to full day Kindergarten.  His teacher suggested that maybe we back off 4 full days (he is 1/2 day on Friday's due to our OT time), to maybe just 2 or 3 for couple of weeks. I tend to agree.

His father isn't on board with this though.   Now before you start thinking this is gonna be one of those "mommy the gate-keeper bashes daddy" let me tell you, this isn't one of those!  I love my husband and he is an amazing dad.  I value his input and being with me for nearly every conference that we have had for the boy. 

So what do you do?  There are many options available to me.  I can override him and just do what I think is best.  I can just go with his option.  Or we can talk about it; give it a rest; pray about it; and then talk some more.  Right now we are on option #3.  We have talked about it, and we both have valid reasons for our points of view.  We aren't at compromise stage yet, so we are thinking some more and praying.  At some point soon we will "reconvene" and discuss again to see if either has shifted their point.

So what's my point here?  My husband is a powerful ally in this.  I very much value his thoughts and the fact he is willing to go with me and be involved with our sons is best for all of us in the long run!  If I override him, he will stop giving his opinion.  He will stop being so involved because I will be acting as if I don't need him.  When in reality there is nothing further from the truth!  God created 2 parents for a reason, balance.  My boys need need that balance!
