The following pertains to instances where both parents want to be involved and there is no abuse

So the news about Pete Davidson and his partner splitting up is everywhere which I don't give a shit about. However it got me thinking - do most split up couples stick out living together for a certain period? I've never actually thought about this but logistically, split custody must be almost impossible for the really really early stage.

I wonder if anyone has experience with this? I'm curious how hard it is!

P.S: if for whatever reason my husband sees this post, I promise I'm not preempting anything, love you!

So I don't know if this is ADHD or maybe depression related but I've always REALLY struggled with task paralysis first thing in the morning. I go to sleep having a clear idea of the right things to do the following morning but then in the morning none of those things feel... right. It's been exacerbated recently being unemployed.

Also recently, I've gotten a puppy and taking her for a walk first thing has helped A LOT. I don't know if it's the change of scenery or maybe just having a bit of an anchor but I'm wonder

Today I was walking around Burwood Westfield when I noticed what I thought was a mother holding a bottle of apple juice in front of her stood-up toddler. To my shock, I realised that this mother was letting her toddler son piss into an empty water bottle in an extremely busy thoroughfare. Parents please chime in but... that is crazy right? I would think that even if your kid is able to warn you they need to pee, if they really can't make it to a bathroom, they should still be in nappies right?

Is this something that is maybe more accepted in other cultures? I'm genuinely asking

I don't consider myself a Karen or anything - I totally understand a kid peeing in a bush or even the beach if toilets aren't nearby..

ETA: No I'm not a parent which is why I'm GENUINELY asking for other people's perspective. My best friend was with me and we both were like "I don't think this is cool but we're not parents so who can we say"

I'm finding elements of schema therapy that have been incorporated into my talk therapy really helpful. However, I've noticed that a seemingly significant part of the approach involved analysing your childhood to see where things stem from and what traumas might have led to where you are no etc.

Am I the only one who not only doesn't have any trauma but didn't even have that bad of a childhood? If you are, do you ignore thee parts of the therapy or do you try go digging hahahha

Thank you!
