[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think my kids would have appreciated an opportunity to vacation with both parents at age 10. It would have been awful for me (my XH was abusive) so I never considered it.[/quote]

Hi! ACOD here. My parents tried doing things like joint holiday celebrations (at the recommendation of my mother’s quack therapist). It was awful and every one of my several siblings and I (and we’re all very different types of people) hated it.

Another ACOD here. I just posted, but in contrast to you my siblings and I really liked it when our divorced parents did things together with us. As a (married) mom, I can appreciate what they did even more now. It gave my brothers and I an understanding that relationships are complex and that even if marriages end, a type of caring relationship can continue.  My siblings and I talk about this all the time, and how it has given us relationship skills.[/quote]

Thanks for posting this.  I’m divorced with a 10 year old and my ex and l do some holidays together for our kid.  It’s not awkward.  We get along pretty well as long as we’re not living together.  I hate that some people are so judgmental about it. [/quote]
