A girlfriend of mine and I both have very different ideas on parenting but we also learn from each other. I would only cut off contact if her children were having a negative affect on my children or if she were trying to push her ways onto me.Would You Ever Stop Being Friends With A Fellow Parent Because Of Their Parenting?
No, I would never stop being friends because of their parenting. I may not agree w/ some of their parenting techniques, but I know that I'm not perfect. I have 4 children %26amp; I still don't know everything or that my way of doing things is the ';right'; way. Unless the parent was abusing their child(ren), then I wouldn't consider it any of my business how they raise their children.

~~Aloha Charli Girl~~ I wouldn't stop being a friend because I Disagreed with her ';Parenting Style'; or just because it was Different than mine. BUT...IF her Parenting was somehow creating Children that were Detrimental to my Children in some way or She were Raising Little Demons...Then Yes...I may stop being her friend...I mean I have Girlfriends that don't believe in Spanking and I DO believe in it...BUT how they discipline is not my call...I have been known to leave a friends house when her child has gotten out-of-control and she does nothing about it...But she is still my friend.~~
I feel that everyone is different, so would have different parenting style. I have a ';do what ever works'; policy. I would also like to think that people wouldn't judge my parenting style, but of course it does happen.
I would only discontinue a friendship over parenting styles if the children were seriously being hurt or neglected.
I need all the friends I can get, I cannot be too picky, lol.
