Obviously the best thing would be to not have children with the wrong partner, but for those that have, how do you deal with it when the other parent is basically teaching your children the exact opposite of most of your beliefs? They are so impressionable when they are young but also too young to comprehend really learning to think for themselves and question what they are taught by those they trust the most.

This situation is the shittiest for the kids, all you can do is teach them what you know is right and never ever insult the other parent, I grew up in this situation and it can be brutal. I don't have much advice other than don't ship them back and forth when times get tough as thats what my parents did and I eventually ended up on the street because of it. I felt as if neither of my parents wanted me so I just left. It took me years and years to figure out what a good relationship looks like, so I guess make sure they have an opportunity to see what a good marriage looks like. That way when they grow up and want to get married they will know how to make a marriage work and how to raise kids.

Yeah i know you are right about never saying anything bad about the other parent but damn, is it hard. It already seems at almost 9 years old he has instilled so many of his left thinking ideas and they're sticking and it's frightening. As far as I know they are getting to see healthy marriages in both houses so I suppose that is good. I'm just worried they will want to be the wife in the marriage because their own dad is not going to teach them how to be men.

Thats disheartening but the truth always shines through, there can't be a healthy marriage when no one is the leader and I say that knowing from experience and lots of it.

Believe it or not, I was a liberal up until just a few years ago, I never agreed with censorship of any kind but I was a liberal none the less. Having kids helped wake me up a lot, along with learning more about my faith. So don't lose hope, the one thing that is certain in life is change and experience does a lot to wake people up to reality.

I know they will at least get to see one example of what a man should be so I wouldn't lose hope.

This is true they will see several hardworking men on my husband's side of the family so hopefully it will make some difference. The problem with coparenting though is you essentially lose a lot of parental rights that you would normally have because you have to worry the other parent will take you to court if they disagree with how things are done at your house. It's also more complicated when you are raising children in different States. Apparently in CA it's abusive and seen as a punishment to teach your 8 year old sons how to make their own sandwich.
