I personally wouldn't marry (or maybe stay married to) someone who differs that much from me that there would be issues.

Ummm... I think we know that answer... look who you are asking...
I wasn't asking one person, it was a general question. Hubby and I have different parenting styles. What works for us is disciplining our own. We can offer comments, but ultimately he has no say in how I handle a situation with my daughter and visa versa.
That's how we always decided. :shrug:

sooooo and ill use the same example i used before- lets say u both have a kid thats 16, and your hubby would allow his child to get a tattoo but you wont allow your child to? do u guys compromise, look at eachothers pov's and decide to give the same rule to both children. or do u let one of them get a tattoo and not the other? it wouldnt seem fair to me.

This has already been discussed. If it's something that affects KVJ and her home, she will be a part of the conversation and have her say. If it's something regarding the kid alone - the example was if he wants to get a tattoo - then it will be up to the parents and she will butt out.
Reading is FUNdamental.
The same can be said since you're agreeing with everything I said yet you said I was wrong.
much?What about if the kid wants to get a Lexus for his first car. Both parents think they are safe reliable, la la la and are in for half. That is a choice that does not necessarily affect the home if it can be afforded BUT it does potentially affect the marriage if the "step" thinks its excessive and that the money spent on said car would be better invested elsewhere. It's not as black and white as you people are making it.
Julz absolutely said it the best. It's a lot of hard work and a lot of give and take. If anyone is acting like queen of the world it sure ain't me because I realize that the choices I make for my child could possibly affect my spouse and will consult with him in such choices opposed to saying "my kid what I say goes!"

Did I miss all the questions pertaining to a 22 y/o marrying someone with a 16 y/o kid?

We're not talking issues. I'm talking two people whose parenting styles are different. Say kid flunks a test at school - one parent wants kid to study the rest of the week, other parent does nothing. That's hardly an issue between two parents.

Ok, that was a good one.

I wouldn't compromise. A 16 year-old has no business getting a tattoo, piercing or any other body modification. If hubby wanted his daughter to look like a tool, that's on him. I wouldn't divorce him over it.

And that's something menial that shouldn't be an issue. Real life dictates that there will come a time when there will be issues that cross those black and white lines.
