Kinda Sad...

[NiNi.R.]

Reading this I just realized that I'm really, really lucky that my girls call both my house and their dad's house home. It actually drives me a little batty because everytime they say "home" we have to ask which one. Their dad and I share them. He moved 4 blocks away and although they sleep here most school nights and there most weekends they have to option to go back and forth daily if they want. We still parent them together and get along well. In fact when he goes away for work we feed his cats for him. Yep, I have keys to my ex's house. Everyone thinks our relationship is odd now but my goodness....it's so much better for my kids that we laugh again and don't fight with each other.

Kudos to you! I think parents sometimes forget that even though they are sick of each other they still must parent together. Ultimately, I believe that it's better for children to have happily married parents. But if the "happily" part is impossible the next best thing is to be happily co parenting.
