This completely off topic, but I do have a question about something brought up on this thread.
I honestly don't even know what putting your spouse first or putting your kids first looks like?
i don't even get how you put one above the either. Sometimes kids needs come first, other a spouses, and most needs should be able to be met simultaneously , unless the needs of one or the other are ridiculous.
Like if my spouse said " honey, we really need to get away together without the kids " I'd be like " sure, let's arrange something" Yes, my kids would be without their parents for a few days but it would be healthy for our R.
Otherwise, I just don't get it.
It doesn't come up much, but say your spouse and your child both have performances or recognition ceremonies on the same night.
Or say you and your spouse vehemently disagree about whether to give your child anti-depressants.
Or say you are divorced and have fallen in love, but your minor children don't want to share a home with your new partner.
