Tell me about great co-parenting (inspired by another thread)

There's a thread that is about something else, but some great co-parenting is obvious throughout and it made me think. I see so many horrible stories on here and hear from divorced/ separated friends in real life about terrible co-parenting. It would be lovely to hear the good stories. I know there must be some - partly because of that thread and partly because I know a lot of people in RL who, if they did separate, I feel certain could (in time) make co-parenting work. Me and DH have no intention of splitting up and are very happy, but I am absolutely certain that if anything awful happened and we did change our minds about our relationship, we would still be able to co-parent okay long term. We both have our faults but our commitment to the DC is the same.

So tell me happy stories please. Or ones that are effective and pleasant!

I would say myself and my ex co parent well . We are on the same page about discipline etc . He always backs me up . He pays what I ask of him and also buys a few extra bits for the girls . He works shifts so can be tricky to arrange regular times for him to see girls but he picks them up from childminder when he can or school and takes eldest to swimming /ballet when he's not working . He messages me to ask about them when he can't see them and we send each other pictures etc. We are by no means perfect but seems to work and they are both very happy children .

That's a good story to hear. I especially like that he makes an effort to see them. Know too many women in real life whose ex doesn't seem to care.
