Co-Parenting After Divorce: Tips to Make it Work

Co-Parenting can be a difficult and trying process, especially if there are kids involved. Co-parenting after divorce can also be difficult, but it's important for the well-being of the children and the parents to make it work. 

Co-parenting after divorce can be a challenging and emotional experience.

 Here are some of the common challenges that co-parents may face.

Communication Issues

Effective communication is essential for successful co-parenting, but it can be difficult to achieve after a divorce. Communication breakdowns can lead to misunderstandings, missed appointments, and a general lack of cooperation. Co-parents may have difficulty communicating due to unresolved anger, resentment, or distrust.

Differing Parenting Styles

Co-parents may have different approaches to parenting, and this can cause conflict. One parent may be more strict while the other is more relaxed. Differing parenting styles can lead to disagreements over discipline, routines, and even values. It's important for co-parents to find a way to compromise and establish a consistent parenting approach.

Scheduling and Logistics

Co-parents may face scheduling and logistical challenges when it comes to arranging visitation, transportation, and other arrangements. This can be especially difficult if the co-parents live far apart or have conflicting work schedules. Co-parents may need to work together to find creative solutions to these challenges.

Emotional Turmoil

Divorce can be an emotional experience, and co-parents may continue to struggle with feelings of anger, sadness, or grief. These emotions can make it difficult to maintain a positive co-parenting relationship. Co-parents may need to seek professional support or counseling to help them process their emotions and move forward.

Financial Issues

Co-parenting can also be expensive, and co-parents may have disagreements over finances. One parent may feel that they are contributing more than the other, or they may have different ideas about how to allocate resources. Co-parents may need to work together to establish a financial plan that works for everyone.

Co-parenting can be a challenging and complex process, especially if there are unresolved conflicts or communication issues between co-parents. TalktoAngel is an online platform that can connect you with licensed therapists who specialize in co-parenting and can provide guidance and support in managing your situation.

To the Type-A Stepmama’s...

How do you deal with not being in control of your blended family? I’m not talking about picky, you-may-or-may-not-hate-babymama control... I’m talking about logistics, organization, decision making... the things you are best at. How do you deal with having virtually no say?

I have quite a few versions of myself — the strong-willed and independent twenty-something, the writer, the editor, the coach, the business owner, the homeschool director, the big-hearted woman, the daughter, the sister, the fiancé, etc. — but the one identity I really value is being a mama. 💙⁣ ⁣ Happy Mother's Day to my own mother, who has made me resilient, tender-hearted, and loving; to my fiancé's mother, who has welcomed me into her flock; to my son's mama who brought this amazing little boy into the world; & to all the mothers of different shapes, walks, and journeys. You are incredible and I'm beyond blessed to share this special day with you. #happymothersday⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #mothersday #momish #momishmoments #stepbystepparents #motherhoodquotes #honestmotherhood #thisismotherhood #mylittlefamily #parentstories #bonusmotherhood #bonusmom #boymama #boymom #lifeofabonusmom #mommydiaries #momblog #ourcandidlife #mytinymoments #bonusmommy #stepmomstrong #stepmomsupport #stepmomsclub #coparenting #diaryofabonusmom #blendedfamilies https://www.instagram.com/p/COqM8TBFGzu/?igshid=s14c5sow8x5u

Self reflection about how our parents parented us is a key to figuring out what may be going wrong when our children make our lives difficult. We learned our parenting skills from our parents. Whether it was good or bad doesn’t matter because what may have worked for them may not work for us or our children. A teenager acting out could be because a parent is trying to fit them into a box that crawled out of when they were their age. Ever have a time when you catch yourself sounding like your parents? Scary shit right? We have to become more aware that the way we’re parented May have not been necessarily the right way...I mean they did the best they could and we should learn from them and do better with our own children. When you have a challenge with your teen. Ask yourself. Am I bringing the past of my own childhood into the present? Is this effecting my relationship with my child and am I not seeing who they truly are because of the filters I have been programmed with. When we become more aware of how we were parented blew can become more aware of what our children really need in order to grow into the human beings they are supposed to become. 🤘#dadsofdaughters #parentblog #parentingteensishard #momtoteens #parentingteens #parentingtips #divorcedmoms #parentproblems #divorcedparents #singleparenting #exhaustedparents #divorceddad #divorcedmoms #divorcedmom #divorcedparentsproblems #singlemomlife #singlemom #divorcedparentsprobs #divorcedparentsproblems #stepdad #stepdads #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomproblems #stepdadproblems #dadswithsons #parentsupport #divorcemom #stepdadsmatter #stepmomsupport #parentingteenagers #connectedparenting (at Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ymIKiFO0M/?igshid=1egv3d5f0zxrx

Someone's always watching... even on your mother's day card envelope. Happy Step-mom day to all the bonus moms, part time moms, and "wicked" awesome moms. Watched my kids go crazy at Saigon Market for Taro cakes, pockys, and shumai. Then lunch with their amazing Nana. Now keeping the piece after some monkeys broke a bed... again. All in a day's work I say. #Ilm #livehappy #stepmomlife #stepfamily #stepfamilylife #stepmomstrong #stepmomlove #stepmom #stepmomsrock #stepmomsupport #stepmother #stepmomma #bonusmom #stepkids #mothersday (at Saigon Market)

PRUNING: How I am being prepared for the next season?, God is removing everything we don’t need . My partner @kerwinniegirl is into horticulture and here is what she says about it: . “ Pruning is used to remove anything dead, diseased or to promote new growth to specific areas if it does not produce life. . Often pruning is done for the beautification of the plant, to allow some stalks or parts to grow larger and shape that shrub or tree. Understanding what each shrub or plant requires is very important for the one with the pruners to know. . Timing is also important, if improperly pruned in the wrong season you can destroy the new growth that produces the flowers. It is important to understand each plant and what it needs to bring out the beauty of that plant. You can do harm if you do not understand what that species needs. . For Crepe Myrtles, the places they bloom if not removed at that blooming tip, it will never bloom in that location. It only blooms on new wood. The tip ends of those shrubs are also pruned by the owners for beauty or structure to allow other parts to grow in size and structure and produce longer, taller trees from shrubs that would ordinarily be small. . The father took such care in creating each species and knows each one individually. When we understand with a small amount of information, we can bring out the best in each plant in the landscape or garden. If the Father took this much care in creating the trees, shrubs, and plants in our lives, imagine how much care he takes in knowing each one of us intimately and personally to care for each one. Knowing when and where to gently remove and encourage new growth. To shape us, to form us and bring out the best, most beautiful character in each of us. . . . #newhairgrowth #newplantgrowth #newyearnewgrowth #newgrowth🌱 #newgrowthcoaching #newgrowthwhodis #newgrowths #newgrowthseason #newgrowthonfleek #newgrowthisreal #newgrowthopportunities #newgrowthministries #newgrowthpublishing #newgrowthplants #selfgrowthisthenewsexy #somuchnewgrowth #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomlove #stepmoms #stepmommy #proudstepmom #stepmomma #stepmomsupport #stepmomstrong #blendedfamily #familylifeblended #blend (at Bentonville, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMmunRHJGIy/?igshid=1cmp71g1toa9s

If your teen is in the midst of a rebellion then you may not want to go with this question. Always answer the question yourself before asking them. Hey “ I bought a homeless man a dinner during my lunch hour”. It felt really good to help another human being out in this life. See if they give you any response. Even if they don’t you will plant a seed of empathy in them and they may think about it for a little while. You never know what question could shift their lives so always ask empowering questions and allow the silence to do the work. 🤘#dadsofdaughters #parentblog #parentingteensishard #parentingteenagers #parentingteens #parentingtips #divorcedmoms #parentproblems #divorcedparents #singleparenting #exhaustedparents #divorceddad #divorcedmoms #divorcedmom #divorcedparentsproblems #singlemomlife #singlemom #divorcedparentsprobs #divorcedparentsproblems #stepdad #stepdads #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomproblems #stepdadproblems #dadswithsons #parentsupport #divorcemom #stepdadsmatter #stepmomsupport #stepdadsupport #connectedparenting (at Plymouth, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xNzOEFIzM/?igshid=ypkps7iejoh0

So many people take life for granted. We believe we get a tomorrow. Let me tell you a secret. We aren’t guaranteed anything. We fly though life cramming as much as we can into every minute. We say things we don’t mean to out of frustration and poorly managed emotions. We usually regrets the things we say to our partners in children after we have calmed down. Maybe even apologizing but that can only be done if we know for certain we will see them later or talk to them tomorrow. How can we be so ignorant to think that we have a later on or tomorrow. So many people in this world don’t get that second chance. if the last conversation they had with their loved ones was fueled with anger and hostility what are the consequences of that if what you never expect to happen..happens? What would life be like if that was the last conversation. What would their life look like in the future? What about your life? We need to start thinking about all those conversations that went the wrong way and learn from them. Each time we communicate with a loved one we need to make sure that it ends with loving and gratitude. Because anything else will leave the people involved with an eternity of regrets and guilt. Who could live with that? Think before you speak. #dadsofdaughters #parentblog #parentingteensishard #parentingteenagers #parentingteens #parentingtips #divorcedmoms #parentproblems #divorcedparents #singleparenting #exhaustedparents #divorceddad #divorcedmoms #divorcedmom #divorcedparentsproblems #singlemomlife #singlemom #divorcedparentsprobs #divorcedparentsproblems #stepdad #stepdads #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomproblems #stepdadproblems #dadswithsons #parentsupport #divorcemom #stepdadsmatter #stepmomsupport #stepdadsupport #connectedparenting (at Dartmouth, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wCtRYhcSw/?igshid=69t48ud6e2lk

Another great question when alone with your teenager. Always answer the question first before prompting them for their thoughts. So what has had the greatest impact on your life? Good, Bad and why? Person, Place or thing. If you had a chance for a do over would you and why? #dadsofdaughters #parentblog #parentingteensishard #parentingteenagers #parentingteens #parentingtips #divorcedmoms #parentproblems #divorcedparents #singleparenting #exhaustedparents #divorceddad #divorcedmoms #divorcedmom #divorcedparentsproblems #singlemomlife #singlemom #divorcedparentsprobs #divorcedparentsproblems #stepdad #stepdads #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomproblems #stepdadproblems #dadswithsons #parentsupport #divorcemom #stepdadsmatter #stepmomsupport #stepdadsupport #connectedparenting (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tTcDYlPpZ/?igshid=vihbwvim5b6q

Life is freaking busy. Work and Life consume every moment of the day. As parents we get distracted with all the things we have going on. We start taking things for granted. Hey our kids can feed, dress and take care of themselves. Put them on auto pilot and let’s keep rushing though life? Where are we running to? Is there a finish line? Are we not even stopping to check in and see what is going on in our own homes? When was the last time I had a meaningful conversation with my teen? Lazy parents say “they don’t want to talk to me”. Because it is easier to push the East button then try to engage with our teens. Then the question becomes. Why don’t they talk to me? They will spend hours with their friends and I have no idea what is going on in their world. Why? Because it is too much work or we are busy doing other shit that really isn’t a high priority. A parent with a disconnected child will loose them slowly overtime to the escape pods of society. Bad influences, drugs, alcohol to name a few. This is where they find a way to escape reality, be seen by someone else and be heard by others they believe care. It is never too late to reconnect with our teenagers until it is. If you fail to take that time to get to understand and see their world there is one question you need to ask yourself. Will I be able to live with the consequences of no action? #dadsofdaughters #parentblog #parentingteensishard #parentingteenagers #parentingteens #parentingtips #divorcedmoms #parentproblems #divorcedparents #singleparenting #exhaustedparents #divorceddad #divorcedmoms #divorcedmom #divorcedparentsproblems #singlemomlife #singlemom #divorcedparentsprobs #divorcedparentsproblems #stepdad #stepdads #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomproblems #stepdadproblems #dadswithsons #parentsupport #divorcemom #stepdadsmatter #stepmomsupport #stepdadsupport #connectedparenting (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rXW5dlQYw/?igshid=at9rdiymj64r

Empowering questions for your teens in those awkward silences. Always begin the conversation answering the question yourself and then ask them if they had any thoughts about it. Another way to become a connected parent and learn more about who your child is and what is going on between their ears. Guide, Coach, love and support then on their journey in life. We can coach them or control them but we can’t do both. ❤️ #dadsofdaughters #parentblog #parentingteensishard #parentingteenagers #parentingteens #parentingtips #divorcedmoms #parentproblems #divorcedparents #singleparenting #exhaustedparents #divorceddad #divorcedmoms #divorcedmom #divorcedparentsproblems #singlemomlife #singlemom #divorcedparentsprobs #divorcedparentsproblems #stepdad #stepdads #stepmom #stepmomlife #stepmomproblems #stepdadproblems #dadswithsons #parentsupport #divorcemom #stepdadsmatter #stepmomsupport #stepdadsupport #connectedparenting (at Honda of Plymouth in Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8qzk7-lJB3/?igshid=cgfr7oa0ssce

Divorced parents have a hard job trying to co-parent teenagers. The teenagers are going though so much in their own world and when the family breaks up then creates even more chaos and these children need to hold someone accountable. That is usually Their parents. They will act out and rebel against their mom and dad because they just want their family back together.
