[quote=Anonymous]Full disclosure: I’m not divorced. But I am a lawyer who is the child of a divorce attorney AND I’ve observed myriad friends and family navigate divorce. Pro tip: check your emotions at the door and do whatever it takes to successfully coparent so the *children* aren’t impacted as much by your divorce. What does that mean? Prioritize your kids’ activities and handle them the way you currently are. Why? Because that’s far less disruptive for your kids than dumping them on a carpool parent to fly solo at their activity when they know mom has off this weekend and just as easily could have been with you…like she used to before the divorce. I’m not a Gwyneth Paltrow fan, but she really did a terrific job modeling successful coparenting. Your kids will benefit from seeing their parents continuing to behave like engaged parents rather than checking out when it’s not their weekend…as if it’s possible to absolve yourself of parenting.
