[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, I don't think this is weird but I am divorced with a kid and I get the co-parenting dynamic. It isn't for everyone.

ExDH and I co-parent very "closely" for some. This was a big deal for a lot of guys when I was dating and I broke things off with them rather quickly and early on because of it.

I don't go on trips to see his family because I don't really care for them but he occasionally came with me to see mine as he likes them and they like him. Also, most importantly, our DS was fairly young at the time (under 5 years old), and travelling with a little kid can be a lot.

As DS grew older, ExDH didn't tag along as much. I've since re-married and ExDH never comes on our vacations. We do attend events of his though (i.e. sports, school programs, lessons, etc.) and if oour son insisted or expressed really wanting the two of us to do a trip, we probably would and my DH would come along. We're all adults and are civil with one another.

How long has this guy been divorced? If it's fresh, everyone is still transitioning and the parents are trying to keep some things "normal" for the kids at this time. I think as the girls grow older this will be less of a thing but never go into a situation expecting it to change.

If this relationship has a future, I would ask him about it, as in, does he intend to go on vacations with them indefinitely into the future or will it change as the children get older.[/quote]
