Co-parenting can be a real challenge, especially when you feel like your ex is not contributing enough or is failing to show up for your child. One mother asked the internet to help her decide whether she should remind her ex about their daughter's upcoming dance show or just let him "forget" about it.
The mum explained that she and her ex have two kids, aged nine and eleven. She says that despite her daughter being very excited for the performance, he was nowhere to be seen. She had already texted him the details of the show, but he hadn't responded and the show was just days away.
The internet had mixed opinions on how the mum should handle the situation. Some said she wasn't obligated to remind him and shouldn't be his personal assistant, while others said he needed to take responsibility and if it was up to her she should remind him.
The third opinion was that it all depended on the daughter's emotional state. They asked if she was still in the stage of believing in Santa, or if she had been let down too many times and was now looking at the world more carefully.
No matter what decision the mum makes, parenting experts say that it is important for both parents to work together for the wellbeing of the children. They suggest setting a time to discuss disagreements without it getting heated, and if it's difficult to talk, then reach out by email. Ultimately, what matters most is doing what is best for the child.
