Children learn something important from how Dad responds to being challenged.
If disagreement produces anger, they learn: Protect the relationship by hiding what you think.
If disagreement produces curiosity, they learn: I can remain connected to someone while thinking differently.

You're teaching them how disagreement works in every relationship they'll have afterward.
I purposely didn’t look in to or read anything in the Epstein files. Not because I want to be ignorant about the world’s problems. But rather because I am a mother with small children and I don’t need mental images of wickedness haunting my mind. I am trying to be a refuge of wholesomeness and sunshine for my family. I’ll let my husband be super-informed about the darkness.
