[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ex dh and I have done thanksgiving dinner together w the kids, as well as Xmas. We want the kids to know that they still have a family although it looks different now. We live 10 mins apart from each other so thats easy to do and we can hang out together for a few hours and do stuff w the kids.

But a Disney vacation? Jesus Christ I would rather poke my eyes out with a rusty knife than vacation w him ever again. We are divorced for a reason.

Right? way to ruin Disney for your kid.

I think it’s important to be able to be civil and even friendly during those times when you are all together - like custody switches, school events. But no reason to go beyond that. I have done a few holiday meals jointly in the first year of my divorce (mainly to accomodate elderly in laws I still care about) but I kind of feel like it’s a mistake. Nobody really wants Thanksgiving wrecked by the same bullsh*t disagreements and tensions we were trying to end. [/quote]
