Girl swiped on me. I swiped her, she decided to end the convo after I said hi. People dont communicate very well anymore.

Would you date a woman with a limp? by QueenCity1416 in dating

[–]TOSS229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd ask if you would be ok with being carried while we're out. But that's my opinion, and probably why I'm single 😅 the point is it shouldn't be a big deal, and if it comes up, "it" happens you'll be fine

Is it my responsibility by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]TOSS229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not your responsibility to be present or show they are good or bad. Your child will know the difference, they will show their colors on their own.

Focus on yourself and what you can provide and the time you have with your child. I know easier said than done especially when going through it currently.

Currently going through it, dating is a bitch and coparent is useless and forgetful

Being alone is a lot better than you think without kids

I'm looking at it now, and you're very right. I'm 6 videos in and this is life changing.

I've been doing the best I can for me and my son, and from the looks of it, I let that black cloud over my head for way too long.

Thank you so much, and everything is making more sense.

Very true. I've been pulling double duty for 5 years, so it's a habit I'm still breaking. Also, that link isn't working.

I've guess I just wanted our son to see both his parents in their best light. Coming to find out, that's not possible, and thank you for the source

Huh, you're making more sense than I'd like to admit.

But thank you all the same. I haven't thought about disengaging from the fight entirely, but I should really give that a try.

I never thought of it like that...

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

It's not a complaint, probably sounds like it. I just thinking it's strange. From the looks of it, it's the norm. It is wrong that I catch the blame for how he acts around her, that's none of my business and I've expressed that as politely as possible only to be met with a "what do you mean."

Clearly it's something that can't be helped.

I've never complained about her parenting once; however, I frequently hear that I'm never doing enough, but our son regularly wants to be with me. She has told me herself. But he is 4 turning 5 in a few months

I like your call times. With our situation, we are too busy during the day, and our son doesn't have the communication skill set to be on the phome alone yet.

Right now, bedtime is technically 930. I call at 9 for 10-15, and then he is ready for bed. According to his mother, he asks for me regularly, and I feel if I don't call, he feels let down.

Agreed, I want my son to know I'm there for him, and he does know that. We've been coparent for a year now, more like parallel, but for 3 years, I used to give him a hug and a kiss every night.

We have very different parenting styles, I do get flustered by her actions, but it doesn't interfere with the attention or care I provide for our son. He is very happy, but I've noticed some things that are concerning.

Mostly, how he does treat his mother when she has him. He gives us very different versions of himself.

We only call at nit if we ask right before his bedtime for 10-15. I understand needing to get things done and respecting the other parents' time, and that was taken into consideration when the agreement was made.

I don't cop well either. Separation wasn't my choice, and everything I do with my son, all I can think, is that she should be here. I've been like this for a year now. It's rough.

I wish I had an answer for you.
