[US] question about coparenting small children
We’ve done the court thing, we’re going back, my question is those of you coparenting young children, infants and toddlers, are you wanting to be more involved with the care of your child when they’re with the other parent? One accusation I get is that I’m controlling. I’ve been coparenting since the day my son was born. My newborn went with his dad and I had to trust that my son was cared for. Fast forward to now my son is 17 months and it has gotten easier but as he’s gotten older his schedule has changed and we communicate about naps and bedtime. He accuses me of being controlling but I just want us to be on the same page and try and have consistency between the homes. We don’t talk as much because less conversation means less time to argue but of course we still talk sometimes and it’s extremely difficult because we will never see eye to eye. Can this be looked at as “control”? Do you want or get updates on your babies or toddlers when they’re with the other parent?
