I am having trouble in parenting with my husband. he invalidates our toddler by telling her she will be ok, before listening to her. When I told him about this, he became defensive and upset. we didn’t solve anything in the end. I feel we have different ideas of parenting. I do not know how to handle the situation?

my husband and i are disagreeing all of the time on parenting our teens and adults. part of the problem is me. i let him make decisions earlier in our marriage even though i often disagreed. i did not want to fight all of the time. result: 23 y.o. without a job and we are supporting her outside the home but supporting her. i think she should work harder to get a job but my husband does not want to put any pressure on her. he says yes to everything the kids want. he tells me not to spend money but then spends money on them/ trips/ restaurants etc. 2nd child is a college student. he is getting fair grades. all of our kids are very intelligent and scored very high on all standarized tests but grades showed some under achievement. it does not bother my husband at all that they do not work harder. third child is in high school and up to this year was a fantastic student. junior year of high school is when my kids start to get somewhat lazy and the grades reflect this. all three kids have behaved in this way. ok i vented to all of you but i am so frustrated on what to do. my husband just walks away if i bring anything up about the kids that is negative. he does not see any problem at all. the event which led me to write at this time follows: we were planning a summer vacation. we told our daughter she could bring a friend. next thing i know she says that she is invited to brazil with a friend that is from there. she is not that friendly with this girl so i was surprised about the invitation. she would travel to the country with the famiy for a week but would return to the us on her own. it would require a transfer within brazil. after reading so much about brazil in regards to crime rate, murders, rape, theft i do not feel comfortable sending her with people i do not even know. my husband disagreed and went ahead and made the plane reservation without even speaking to me about the plans. i have been so angry about this. i am having a hard time getting past this. i have made my opinion known and have said i do not want her to go to brazil....period. any suggestions?
