For a year and half I have been trying to CoParent with my ex, I’ve tried so many times eventually it got to the point…

That would be awesome my parents split when I was three it was awful but my mom got to the point where she would help my dad with money and stuff so he could take me on weekends and stuff and birthdays and Christmas they had together it was really nice even though it was all fake lol but anyways it really helped me expect things that I really wasnt understanding like why my dad didn't want me and why my mom didn't want my father it's very confusing being young. So I love that ur doing this for her

This is an awesome idea. I hope it goes well for you. Even if it does, you don’t have to spend Christmas together. My stepdaughter alternates holidays with us every year. For ex: we had her Halloween, her mom had her thanksgiving & we have her Christmas. Next year will be the opposite. She still will go over to her moms on Christmas but not until the afternoon. We have her Christmas Eve and morning just like she did last year and will next year. You can totally still split the holidays without having to spend time with the other parent. We have a great relationship with the mom... she just really isn’t a part of our celebration and I don’t want her to be. It wouldn’t make sense. What she does with her daughter is separate than what we do. I’m just letting you know this is what we do in case you really don’t want to spend the holidays with your ex and his new girlfriend. Again, I really hope it goes well for you! Just an idea I wanted to share in case :)

I co parent with my ex husband but we don't have much of relationship other than interacting when he picks my son up on weekends. We are civil for the most part for our son's sake but I don't think I could ever actually do stuff together, I can't be around him that long. My boyfriend also can't stand him and hates that I am civil with him and constantly thinks I still care about him and have feelings for him which I don't...

I’m not doing much holidays with my ex I just asked about this one because I work until 2 and he lives 2 hours away ether I wouldn’t have time with her or he wouldn’t. We don’t all do things together my ex has a hard time coping that my boyfriend is around. My boyfriend actually came up with the idea so he would be more comfortable. We don’t plan on this being a constant thing lol. Just trying to smooth everything out best we can for Olivia. Thank you all for sharing too, means a lot!! 😊❤️
