I've just come out of hospital with aspiration pneumonia which I get from time to time. Although this time I had to have the critical team looking after me so I feel for Ellen̈ and yoùreßèlf. 😊
Hi Tova, hi Elin, hi Alice. I’m glad to see Elin is on the mend and hope you will soon be too. Alice is such a good little sister so knowledgeable too. I’m so pleased that co-parenting is working out well for you. Although my ex husband and I had joint custody of our girls it didn’t work very well. I realise I only know that your girl’s dad is a good dad from things you’ve said here, but my girl’s dad wasn’t really. Yes he paid the bills but he was always at work. Work always came first and was the most important thing for him. If they had gone to him for weekends he would have left them at their grans house whilst he went to work. He would not have taken them to their activities. In his mind spoiling them rotten for the first two weeks in the new year was enough. It was very sad for them. Children need your time. Sorry for the rant I’m glad their dad is good to them.
It is so tricky co parenting after divorce, mine is now 27 and pretty much bedbound so he comes here to spend time with her, it works for us and over the years you adapt to what works best for your situation. So glad you are both on the same page as it makes a huge difference. How you manage to work as well though, oh and run a you tube chanel, I have no idea. Hope you are feeling better soon so many bugs around atm xx
I’m not a hands on parent anymore (my child has flown the nest and lives the other side of the country) so I borrow other people’s children (I’m heavily involved with the scouts). I’m shattered after spending over two hours in the early hours, holding a child’s hand telling them how brave they were for spending their first night away from their parents, and how they have earned a badge and this morning they went walking out back to their parents like they are ten feet tall :-) (…and then I got soaked through to the skin at the cenotaph as it poured down during the remembrance ceremony and coats aren’t part of the uniform 🙄!)
This is so beautiful ❤. There will be so many kids who will one day, as adults, tell stories of how you helped shape them into the person they've become.
I’m surprised you are able to sustain employment with so many other things on your plate! You’re doing incredibly well to manage. Is your employer understanding of your need for last minute time off?
Hi there I totally understand what you’re saying. You need to be very restful that you and your ex are able to work well with each other when it comes down to the nitty gritty. I came from a split home as well being disabled and it was nothing but arguing and swearing at each other. I know that it might not be sugar and honey all the time but at the end you both can work together. Great job as a hole. Cheers. Glad Elliot is feeling better.
I think what people forget sometimes when they divorce is that the other person is as human as you are. No one is perfect, but when you have children, with disabilities or not... it is important to remember that. Our children need to learn that its ok that their parents are not together, but not to hate each other either. Sometimes it really is best to co-parent than it would be to stay together. I think that is partly why I love your channel. The respect you have for each other and your children is what other families need to learn.
Do you want to be friends with me on tex I'm a girl I'm 38 old I'm in a wheel chair my body hurts me every day so if I ask you too play with your body on tex would you play with your body down that Al the time
No I don't. This is down to how I am as a person. While I was still willing to fight for that relationship I was still in that relationship. When I left, it was because I was done. I have moved on, now I want a good co-parenting relationship with the father of my children but no more than that.

People ask me how I do it and I'm honestly as surprised as they are 😂. But yes, my employer is very understanding.

I truly am grateful that we are always on the same page when it comes to our daughters wellbeing.

Thank you so much Tara (if I got your name right) ❤

Do you think that you and dad would get back together again?

How old is Alice
Hello
My Parents got on much better when they got divorce
Funny how that happens... Mine too. Well, it took 20 years but after that they got on so much better 😂
