co-parenting

A little context, me and my daughters dad broke up when she was around 10 months old because he threatened us both with a k***e whilst drunk and also whilst I was nursing. I rang the police, he snatched my phone threw it and took her from me and left through the night. I’m still super...

So me and my ex had a coparenting agreement, going to court in the U.K. is not the norm so we had a verbal agreement. He’s decided he doesn’t like this and is now pushing for 50/50. I’m not happy about this I believe our child need stability and I’m the only parent he’s ever really known. His...

So just a back story for context. I am 23 f and my ex 24 m , we have two daughters together. V. Which is turning 6 and R. That is turning 3. He is an independent contractor , so he works for himself , he doesn’t answer to a “boss” or “manager”. When we first split we had always argued because I...

(U.K) So me and my ex partner split a couple of months ago and I’ve been having my son every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday since then…. But for the past 3 weeks I’ve been told he has a “cold” so I can’t come and pick him up, I’ve also been told multiple times he’s nearly better only to be...

Tldr: ex refused to talk about moving until it was important to him and now I'm trying to figure out if I should just move and let him get angry. My ex and I separated in 2020 and I initiated the separation. For the most part it was ok but I did feel like shit for being the one to break up our...

Co-parenting for 2 years, 50/50 custody. My 10F is obviously hitting puberty and I’m trying to be open about hormone and period talk when she wants to talk about it. This visit she told me that her mom trims her privates. First time it came up I didn’t say anything as maybe it was a one off and...

My son (11 y.o.) just told me his dads live in GF told him he’s allergic to gluten and that’s why he’s itchy sometimes (I’ve dealt with my sons medical issues since his birth and I’m also a nurse. He has seasonal allergies and asthma). He is not diagnosed with a gluten allergy. This is...

Title sums it up, and this is a legitimate question. For those seeking more information: Child is going to be 8. I have paid for every party previously (they’ve been expensive and essentially large social qualifying events for the mother). Mother and I have both attended child’s parties in...

I am just looking for an outside unbiased perspective on this. I left my partner of 17 years 8 months ago. We have a 12 year old daughter, who lives with me full time. At the beginning of our seperation, the agreement was that she would be with me Monday to Fridays and with her dad on...

My son is 6 now but will be 7 and in 1st grade when this will happen. I’m planning a trip to Disney world when Christmas decorations are up. I want to avoid thanks giving week and Christmas week due to crowds. Which will give me 3 weeks in between those dates but school will still be in! I...

My ex-husband (45) and I (42) have two kids (10m, 13f). He's been with his fiance (age unknown, but probably close to our age) since Nov 2020, and got engaged at the end of April, this year. My kids love her and she seems nice. I have no explicit reason to not like her, other than that she seems...

My ex husband recently got in the fire department. He now works only 2 days a week sometimes 3. I work a traditional M-F job. He did too for the 10 years we have been divorced. Now I'm not sure how to make a consistent schedule for our boys. His work schedule is not consistent either. For ex: 1...

Anyone in a more parallel parenting situation, what do you do for holidays if you have split custody? Right now we alternate yearly Thanksgiving and Christmas Day from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I get my kids every father's day and she gets them every mother's day. I'm going back to court to add the...

Apologies ahead of time for grammer and my rambling. For some context I (30m) broke up with my wife around a year ago. We get along great and seem to coparent very well. She has a boyfriend we have not met yet only because he doesnt feel comfortable doing so yet. Id like to meet him and im sure...

My ex (F47) and I (M53) have been coparenting for about 8 years. Mostly it’s uneventful these days. But… Our two kids (ages 12 and 15) get two vacations each spring, one week each. Our custody agreement is very clear: 50/50 custody, and equal sharing of vacations and holidays. This year I...
