[quote=Anonymous][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]

I wouldn’t say most people are judgmental as much as they don’t want to date you or people like you who vacation with your exes; however, clearly from this post we can see that there are others like you out there, so you all should get together and date each other when you’re not spending time with your exes. Problem solved. [/quote]
