Most agree that finding ways to fairly share responsibilities at home is very important to feeling satisfied for couples who are married or living together. An ongoing conflict between parents isn’t great for kids. Let’s dig into these differing views and identify what works for both partners. Everybody loses out when we don’t have equity, and everybody needs to participate in recalibrating how we do things to reach equality. Join us for an enlightening conversation and discover a new, highly effective approach to solving the persistent challenge of equity in household tasks.
Our Peace At Home Parenting Solutions experts Aaron Weintraub M.S., and Tanika Eaves, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., IMH-E®, will provide you with the tools to create a more balanced and harmonious partnership with less tension over daily life and more room for fun and fulfillment.
