[quote=Anonymous]It really just depends. Personally, as an ACOD with steps on both sides, I prefer less contact. If they're in the same place it's very fake. I appreciate that they can maintain basic courtesy, but I know that after any event I'll have to listen to my dad and his wife talk about my mom's infidelity and her loser AP. And I'll have to listen to my mom's thirsty "Wasn't that NICE? Oh, it was soooo NICE!" and if I don't validate it, she gets annoyed at me. It's all really fake. When considering this stuff, I suggest you ask yourself who it's truly for. If the kids actually want it, okay. But if it's a show you're putting on to convince yourselves or the neighbors that your family is more functional than it actually is, don't. It's embarrassing and fake and burdensome to the children.[/quote]
