co-parenting

Maybe it’s not a big deal but it really gets under my skin. My ex keeps lying & telling our child’s providers that putting my son into headstart was HIS idea, how he diagnosed our son with speech delay, how he was the one who potty trained our son first bc the doctor “said” our son should be...

So my partner and I have been separated for about 2 months now. Not living separately but I’m sleeping in a different room. ( I am working on getting my own place but those things can take time) Ex-partner and I are on somewhat ok terms. I have my bad days where I just want to scream and rage...

My 10yr old text me saying her stepmom called her a ‘B word’ but said the ‘real word’. I guess it came after my dd and her little sister (dad&sm’s kid 5) were arguing and the little sister went to sm to tattle on dd. Dd was in her room and heard sm say “don’t play with dd, she’s being a...

I’ll try and keep this brief. I’ll also preface this by saying I understand I’m still grieving the loss of my chance at 50/50 custody, so I may be coloring my kid’s words with my own personal feelings for their mother. Backstory: When my kids (newly 5F, almost 6M) were 4 months & 1y, their mom...

I am looking for co-parenting literature recommendations for fathers. Separated one year, two daughters aged 3 and 5. I have already purchased the following: High-Conflict Custody Battle - Dr. Amy J Baker, et al. The Co-Parenting Handbook - Karen Bonnell Co-Parenting 101 - Deesha Philyaw &...

My ex and I share 50/50 time of our 2 kids (7m and 4f) and she has legal custody. Our son is getting a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy over spring break and will be out of school for two weeks and will of course need constant supervision, which is all easily doable with our normal 3-3-4-4...

I have custody, bio dad has visitations that I have been very lenient on for multiple reasons. But some of the things he complains about are the fact that I don’t alert him everytime our 6 year old goes to a grandparents, or friends house. Which is legit not very often. There are times when mimi...

Sorry this is long…. My ex and I share a toddler. We’re high/very limited contact conflict and I’ve just had to file in court to try to get our informal agreement made legally binding…. They weren’t happy I filed. Today I get the usual handover email and a bit at the bottom to say ‘I’ll be...

Her sister works for a toy company and has used my 6 y/o son's image without my consent, for a toy listed on Amazon, and it's been there for 7~ months. I try to be vigilant about publishing his pictures online but now countless strangers can now see this pic of him. Not sure if I have cause to...

Looking for advice and I’m spilling the beans I guess. My coparent(CP) and I were together for a total of 7 years. Met in college, had a baby, got engaged & then they cheated in the absolute worst ways (with an ex, SW’s, co-workers, etc). I called off the engagement and never looked back. For...
