"Acts of Kindness in Divorce" courtesy of HuffPo
I'll admit it, sometimes I cheat on Steptalk and read the Divorce section in HuffPo. This article really caught my eye. While I think the BM who wrote it was well-intentioned, and maybe it does work for her and her ex, the list here of "acts of kindness" you can do for your ex is just classic meddling BM behavior. For your entertainment, here they are:
1. Send a birthday cake to your ex's with your kids on his or her birthday
2. Send him or her an e-mail with a compliment-anything that he or she does well
3. Help him or her find a new job (if they are looking) by introducing him to some of your Linkedin connections
4. Email him or her a Groupon from a place you know he/she likes
5. Send him/her a card if he/she gets promoted
6. Give him or her free upgrades to first class if they are going on a trip with your kids
7. Make him a photo album filled with baby pictures of your kids (if he doesn't have many)

The most I do is let the kids
The most I do is let the kids pick out something small for their dad on Father's Day, his birthday and Christmas. I am talking $20 max, but they like being able to give a present to their dad. They are too young right now to do that on their own.

It was the best 35.00 I ever spent. My only regret is I wasn't there to watch her open it.
She ranted for weeks about it
She ranted for weeks about it on FB and her blog. She accused DH but his reaction was genuine when he said no because not only did he not do it, he didn't know. He told me about it and I lost it. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
I intend to do it again. For her anniversary...she'll be expecting something from her DH....This time I think I will send gorilla poo...I'm so evil
LOL Yes! this is it! I love

"If you think about it, life
"If you think about it, life is hard. People always say you can depend on family the most. Isn't your ex sort of always going to be part of your family?"
:barf:
If the ex had been this
If the ex had been this thoughtful and considerate before the divorce, maybe there wouldn't have been a divorce in the first place. Duh!
These are terrible
These are terrible suggestions. It would definitely send out the WRONG message to everyone involved. Maybe the job help one- if you share kids whether together or apart, you don't want to be the only one working!
