Do moms and dad discipline differently?

Do moms and dads discipline differently? Yes. No matter the make up of a family, when two people are raisinging children together they are going to discipline together. This is due to each person being raised a certain way with certain beliefs about what parenting styles they should have. Having different ideas on how to deal with different parenting issues is a good thing as it provides new ways to look at the situation or allows one parent to handle situations that the other parent may not be able to do.
