Coming up on our first holiday season split and we're already butting heads. She wants Thanksgiving day, I want Christmas day. We both want New Year's. Three kids (ages 6, 10, 14).
I spent like 3 months trying to get my ex to use a co-parenting app. She kept saying it was "unnecessary" and that we could just text. Then we had a huge miscommunication about who
My ex met my girlfriend briefly at a school pickup last month (she was just there, wasn't weird) and suddenly ex's attitude shifted. She's been way more flexible about schedule swa
My ex lets our 10yo daughter stay up until 10pm on school nights, have snacks whenever she wants, and basically zero chores. At my place she has an 8:30 bedtime, structured meal ti
Had to pick up my daughter early from my ex's house because she spiked a 103 fever. Instead of the usual awkward dynamic, we just... problem-solved together. Got her to urgent care

My ex is way more strict than I am. Like, she has a 7pm bedtime on school nights and I do 8pm. She doesn't let them have screens on weekdays and I let them wind down with 30 min of
My ex and I have been civil but kinda robotic for 2 years. Today she asked how I was doing (like actually asked) and we talked about the kids for like 20 minutes without it turning
This is my third week dealing with this. My boys (9 and 11) are dragging their feet, being super slow, suddenly needing to find stuff in their rooms right when I show up. Today I w
Got offered a job in Austin, I'm currently in Denver. 50/50 custody with my two kids (8 and 11). Salary increase is huge - like 40% more - but it would mean uprooting the kids and
Been dating Sarah for about 8 months now and things are getting serious. My kids are 6 and 11 (so very different maturity levels). I'm planning to take them to get ice cream next w
Been seeing this woman for 3 months, nothing serious yet, but my ex somehow found out and now she's "concerned about the environment my kids are in." My kids have barely even met h
My ex lets our kids (7, 9, 12) stay up until like 10pm on her weeks and eat basically whatever. When they come to me on Friday, they're absolute nightmares for the first 24-48 hour
Been noticing my 10yo repeating things about me that are just... untrue. Or exaggerated. Like "dad never helps with school stuff" when I literally just helped him with a whole scie
Switched from texting with my ex (nightmare) to OurFamilyWizard 3 months ago. Game changer, honestly. All messages are timestamped, there's a custody calendar that syncs with my ph
