Step-parenting young adults

by Lori
(Michigan)

I have 3 children:-17 (high school senior), 19 & 21-all still in the home (going to college & working). I have been married to my husband for 2 years now and we are really running into some issues. We have totally different styles of parenting and this is causing some conflict.

I tend to be more laid-back and he can be very strict. Any ideas, info anyone has would be appreciated. I have tried step-parenting books, but they mostly deal with younger children or older ones who are out on their own.

Thanks!
