Quote: ------------------------------------------ No. I absolutely, 100% honestly do not have a favorite. I have more latitude with my daughter-H sort of lets me do my thing with her as far as dressing her, putting her to bed, etc. I've felt closer to her as a direct result of my being able to be a Mom to her. With S6, things are just different-mostly because I think H views S6 as a mini version of himself. When I try to mother S6, H views me as trying to control HIM. It's very odd. And S6 is old enough to see that H and I disagree on things and he plays it a little I think. For instance, I prefer him to dress himself when I get him ready in the mornings. When H gets him ready, he'll dress S6 and on a few occasions, S6 has looked over at me and smiled a sly grin. But I honestly love them both the exact same. ------------------------------------------
This is something to put on your new relationship list; co-parenting as equals.
Parents really need to present a unified front to their children, even when there is friction in the marriage. In your new relationship, and as much as is practicable now, the two of you need to be certain that you are not using the children as relationship pawns.
I am looking forward to the list.
All the best, -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
