Consider This : The Saturday edition of The Joyful CoParent
One idea. One question or an insight worth carrying into the weekend.
We want to be right.
I know I do. But that doesn't mean that I win.
In any relationship, intimate or otherwise, we have these moments during conflict and sensitive areas of discussion, when the stakes feel high and being right becomes a way to protect ourselves, to express our worth in the relationship.
"If I am right, then they must be wrong."
You win, they lose.
And for a moment, that feels better.
But relationships aren't as simple as:
Right and wrong.
Good and bad.
What they require is alignment.
Agreed upon direction.
Decisions being discussed.
Actions that follow clear expectations.
You either move toward the same thing, together.
Or, you don’t move toward the same thing, together.
Consider This
Where are you choosing to be right instead of aligned?
What is the underlying reason you want to be right?
Thank you for reading.
I didn't become a joyful co-parent overnight — and if you're in the middle of this, you probably won't either.
I share my journey to connect with others working through the same confusing transformation.
Connect with me:
If this resonated, reply directly — I'd genuinely love to hear your story.
If it landed for you, consider passing it to someone who might need it.
It might be exactly what they need to hear.
Thank you,
