In today's episode, we are talking coparenting!
If this is something that you deal with personally then you are in the right place!! Please stick around because I would love to hear your thoughts!
We talk about how coparenting looks different in every single situation but we talk about how it IS NOT just for parents who have a kid in dual houses... AKA not just a divorced kid or breakup babe.
In the episode we dive in a little bit on my best years of being a bonus mom, & into my firm belief that loving someone else's kid as your own is the hardest yet the best thing you CAN EVER do.
We also break down some help coparenting tips:
1. No matter what your situation (divorced/married/bonus parent/partner/single parent) you now and forever come second to the kid. ** which if you are in a relationship or married it just means you work harder at your said relationship)
2. Put the reps into the coparenting as you would anything in life! Which means get on the same page, because teamwork makes the dream work- share the google calendar or a spreadsheet or whatever that looks like for you.
3. It's okay if you are growing at different paces than the others involved- it might be a speed bump but the growth will come at EVERY chapter of parenthood so ROLL WITH IT HOMEGIRL!!
4. Become self-aware- learn the love languages, take the enneagram, call me and get your birth chart but trust me the MORE YOU KNOW THE BETTER YOU GROW!
Chaos and coparenting go hand in hand but we can coexist in a beautiful manner.. it just takes work.
I hope this helped or resonated with you! Because you are not alone as lonely as parenthood can be at times!
