Co-parenting is a term used to describe divorced parents parenting their children together even though they are in different households. There are MANY ways this can be done. I will not try to tell you how to parent your children. What I will tell you though, is that the more conflict there is between your house and your ex-spouse's house, the more damage you cause your child. It is in your child's best interest for you to learn to get along with that other person as best as possible. Now, do I mean you need to be the best of friends$%: No! Do I mean you should discuss your personal matters with them$%: No!
Co-parenting basically refers to a business arrangement. You and your ex-spouse are in business together. The business is raising your children. This is what your conversations need to be about. They should NOT be personal. They should NOT be about old marital issues. They should stick to the topic of business, which is the child. Think about business relationships you have at work. You may not like the people you are dealing with, but you act civilly in order to conduct the business at hand. THIS is what I'm referring to.
