[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was never married to my daughter's father.  We got pregnant while dating, had a fairly acrimonious breakup, but then reconciled while I was pregnant and decided to raise the baby as co-parents.  She's never known us "together" but we've almost always presented a united front.  (though this year's election put that at risk, as I was a Hillary fan/Trump hater and he hates Hillary and voted for Trump.)

We're basically on the same page about issues involving our daughter.  I am the more organized parent, so I handle the administration and all camp/activity signups.  Before I commit us to stuff, we talk about the scheduling, and he has a say and a veto.  We both attend P-T conferences and all sporting events and recitals, etc.  We frequently eat meals together if it makes sense to do so, and we do her birthdays as a family.

Most of the families we know have at one point called him my "husband" or me his "wife" and depending on how close we are to them, sometimes we correct them.  So clearly our united front is working pretty well.  Our daughter is a very happy kid who does well with transitions between homes - she has two stable parents and two stable homes.  Neither one of us has married or brought another person into the mix, so it remains to be seen what would happen in that case.[/quote]

I love your mature approach. You two should be very proud of yourselves! What a great example for your daughter. [/quote]
