I liked how she admits she is not perfect and what happens at each house stays at each house.

I don't co parent either. We parallel parent and it was a big mess until I learned to let go of what my EXH was doing with my children. I only speak up when it's a medical/safety issue we need to discuss. We literally will go months without saying ONE WORD to each other.

It's better for our family too.

I just sent this to SO. This is almost EXACTLY what they do and I can't say it's a bad thing at all. It would be impossible for them to truly co-parent. There is WAY too much animosity on both sides.

Wow...thank you for finding and posting this!

This is what my ex and I do. My son sees him on holidays etc as DS needs to catch a plane to see his dad.

There is no co-parenting. I really never talk to my ex. We don't like each other and we don't hate each other. We just don't want to interact any more with each other. DS is 15 and has a GPA of 4.125 so there are no school issues or friend issue. Thank god.
