Just had a message from ex DP

[Thunderingfanjo]

Telling me what a fantastic mum I am !

Split up 8 years ago and we've both long since moved on but i think it's still nice that he took the trouble to tell me especially on mother's day ...

Wow this is lovely. What a great and mature co-parenting relationship.

That's really lovely.

My ex gave our DD a lot of money to spend on me for mother's day today (card, perfume, chocolates, lunch out) which was also appreciated. But I think actually telling you you are a great mom is even better.

It's nice to know there are people out there co-parenting well. Sometimes when I read posts on here you just despair for all the poor women still being docked around by useless exes they share kids with.

Thank you.
He actually joins us for Xmas dinner each year - me and current DP cook and he loads the dishwasher and clears up

How lovely. I wish I had this relationship wohh to my ex. Sadly he’s not like that but I love what you guys have!

Gosh this is a really heart warming thread!
So different from so many threads on MN!

It's a lovely text.

I love when two separated parents (and their partners) can be mature enough to have a decent relationship for the sake of their kids.

We've had our challenges in the past and it's taken alot of give and take on both sides but it was important to us that our boys knew we were always united and would support each other as parents despite not being a couple.

I love to hear about relationships like this!

I have a friend whose best friend is her ex husband! And she and his now wife are also really good friends. She was even their wedding planner!

If course this can only work when both parties recognise that the marriage doesn't work and there's no hard feelings or resentment. My friend and her ex just realised they'd married way too young.

It's still great warming to see though.

That is so lovely to hear, good on the pair of you for getting past your past, so to speak.

My EXDP couldn’t even bring himself to wish me a happy Mother’s Day when he brought the children back early from his weekend so they could spend the day with me (this was at my request). No change from how he behaved when we were together so I shouldn’t really have been surprised lol!
