A short YouTube "#shorts" clip where Jacqueline Elliott and Andy describe their primary parenting rule: parents should present a united front. Their practical rule is that a decision requires two yeses to be approved, but a single no vetoes it. They emphasize never disagreeing in front of children and resolving disagreements privately so kids cannot play parents against each other.

Is the top parenting rule that me and you have.
We fall in love with our kids so much that we tend to defend them in the wrong way. So when kids get very confused because they might come to one parent and they get one reaction, that's a big deal to one and not to the other. So they kind of like to play us. So we came up with a very simple rule that was like, you need two yeses for a yes, and you only need one no for a no. And if we disagree with something that our kids say, we don't show them that we disagree. We have a conversation about it, and then we come together.
Yeah. You can never disag in front of your kids.
Yeah. Because they play you.
Yeah. That was a big.
