Doesn't Co-parenting suck? I know. I do it with two kids who have different dads. It's hard. It makes me cry more often than I would like to admit. It's agonizing and terrifying. Sometimes we work well together and sometimes we don't. But here is a list of 13 things we can do to help the situation and we can do so without the buy-in of the other parent. Will it be easy? Hell no. But I have to believe the hard work we do on the front-end is going to be something our children look back on one day with amazement and gratitude. 1) Incorporate the other family into conversations…and do so in a positive way! Don't make your child feel like he/she can't talk about mom or dad with you or you'll be upset or will start bashing on the other family. I don't care if the other family does that to you - take the high road. 2) Let them have pictures up of their other family. In fact, encourage it! It's an easy way to let your children know you
