@esdras Yeah, we have been working on settling right from about 9 weeks because we have gotten to know our baby so well and can tell his sleepy cues, the difference between a grizzle or a cry. We just worked with wake windows and a flexible schedule and tried each nap drowsy but awake in the...

@memrin My husband is a bit like this. He’s come to terms with the 50/50 over time, but he really dislikes the actual coparenting part. Not because BM is even that difficult to deal with. He just describes it as his least favourite chore and I can feel his exasperation whenever the phone rings...

@kingse We have many people in our lives we love platonically. There’re not our exes and we’re not telling them they’re beautiful. Call me old school, but it’s cool when people give a shit about their marriage and the emotional security of their spouse.

@kingse So why the laughing at him over it? He respected his wife and his marriage and I think that actually stung for you quite a bit.

@kingse He sounds like a good and considerate husband to his wife while also trying to spare his ex embarrassment 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure what’s so funny about that?

@4lifephotography People who have affairs or are knowing affair partners are generally either cruel or completely careless. I can’t imagine having to deal with it. You’re already doing the right thing by the kids by letting them be excited. That’s all you have to do here. I don’t think many...

@4lifephotography I think it’s normal for it to sting. for reference, my husband and I just had our first baby and have a good relationship with my SS mum. We didn’t do any of what you described. It would be so weird to be giving constant pregnancy updates and asking for baby things, giving...

@nobbie You know what he probably also misses? His parents not being divorced in the first place. But you guys did what was best for you two as adults relating to each other which is no different from what your coparents and his partner are doing. What works best for them as adults relating...

@fellowheirs My SS was on 2255 for a couple years and it was good when he was younger. But once he started school he just really started struggling with the transitions and it was agreed to trial 7/7. It was a huge success and suited his temperament better. Helps that there’s soccer practice...

@paradis Yep I was just thinking about what will happen when he starts a family of his own. It will become even more apparent to him (and your son) that he feels differently about his own children and quite rightly want to prioritise them and providing for and nurturing them. I would not...

@rvanengen10 Brutal honesty here. This man isn’t his father at all. It’s challenging enough to be a stepmom to your partners biological child let alone a child he is in no way related to or responsible for. I wouldn’t accept it from a partner to be honest. It’s too much and I highly suspect...

@jacquelinelouise92 You know she’s purposely not answering you because she knows she would lose her mind if he set emotional boundaries with her. Queue the ‘everything was perfect until she came along’ 🙄

@skupi I trust my husband too. I trust he’s not telling his ex she’s beautiful and that he loves her. Why don’t you try him?

@skupi In total honesty this the level you describe above where he’s calling you beautiful and you’re saying he’s your best friend would be marriage shattering for me as a stepmum. It would take a shit load of therapy to come back from. I think partially because of the sheer heart and soul I’ve...

@hebrewcalendar12 So was my cousins son. Except he wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD but with a dyslexia as well as another very specific learning by disorder. His acting up in school was his response to feeling ‘stupid’. He’s had extra support in school and a tutor since and he’s doing so well.

@holyghostfire777 One thing I’ve noticed on these blended/coparenting subs is that Disneyland in particular can evoke some very big feelings in Americans that seem interesting to me as an outsider. A trip to a theme park taken by my stepsons other side would also have absolutely nothing to do...

@rvin We just share photos of things that one parent misses that they might have been at if not for work, travel or other things that couldn’t be missed. And even then only really good ones.

@jambor This message is nearly identical to the message my husband sent BM. We also told SS at the start of our week on then followed with that text to BM so she had time to process. There was no malice, no spite, just facts. You’re not entitled to anything more from them at this point. This...
