Heya , I need some advice me & ex broke about 6 months ago . How do you handle not talking about my ex in front of your child ? My son is 2 , but I think he is more then likely picking upon the tension when I'm frustrated and angry . When I see his dad and my son is with me I make sure there isnt an atmosphere when he is there . My ex doesn't ask to vid chat or phone our son for about 5 days till he sees him on the , he has him friday eve till Sunday eve . He doesn't take my son out to the park or out very often. Also I have a routine then he goes to his dads for 2 nights and I start all over again our son doesn't go to bed till about half 9 10pm . On the days he is with his dad I'm working , I've spoken to him about all this several times he just doesn't take anything on board . I'm just angry , frustrated and all the rest !! Any one have any tips or strategies for co-parenting ?

Stop trying to co-parent if it isn't working.
Try parallel parenting (complimentary parenting ) instead.
couple of examples:

its really great!

Don't focus on co-parenting or trying to. You have to get used to getting into your own routine and being on your own (which after a while can feel quite liberating!)

I find the less you expect from the ex, the less disappointed/angry you feel.
