First and foremost...don't discuss any issues you don't agree on in front of the child/children. The child should never see parents arguing over parenting.
You should communicate what you like and don't about ur partners parenting and come to a compromise on certain situation.
You will not agree on everything, but it's important to be respectful of your partners opinions.
Also, many of these parenting skills should be discussed before you have kids. What you like, dislike...how you both see yourself raising your kids. You will have less arguments if you are both on the same page in the beginning.
When a partner doesn't like the other parent's parenting skills, it should be discussed and handled as soon as possible before the child is used to what's being told to them, but NOT in front of the child.
Parents should NEVER argue in front of their children nor downplay one another in front of the children either.
When discussing how to handle the situation several questions should be asked such as
1) How were you raised that you want to raise our child like that? 2) Why do you want to raise our child that way? 3) Do you like how I raise out child? 4) What can we do, so that both of us are happy in the way each of us raise our child?
Overall, nobody is a mind reader, so a person might think they're doing something the right way when they're not. Somebody's best might be your worst. The only way they would know that they aren't doing something the right way is if it's brought to their attention.
