DNJ your posts are always carefully written and well spoken. Thank you for being respectful in your response.

DNJ and Ginger are right that cordial is where you want to get. My point was more that if you weren’t interested in idle chit chat that’s ok too.

It’s difficult to navigate early on. You are trying to do the right thing for your kids but even DNJ admits that should only go so far. If it was all about the kids then we would do blended families because that would be what’s in their best interest.
