The CEO makes big decisions and sets rules. The cruise director plans fun activities and keeps everyone happy.
A parent can look at their daily actions. Do they focus on rules and important tasks? This is like a CEO. Do they focus on fun and making everyone happy? This is like a cruise director. Children often prefer the parent who offers more fun. This is not a choice about the person. It is a choice about the activity. A parent can change their role if they want to.
A parent always plans meals, homework, and doctor visits. The other parent always plans games and trips to the park. The child always asks the second parent for things. The child prefers the fun activities, not one parent over the other.
