Lunchbox

If their co-parenting relationship isn't as strong, they may be like, oh man, that sucks.

Why can't me and my co-parent get it together?

Because yesterday wasn't a great co-parenting day.

No.

So I just was to be authentic and share, I mean, the details I can't get into, but I can also just say it wasn't our best day.

I did a lot of typing up responses and,

which this was helpful.

I typed up exactly what I wanted to say and then just deleted it and acted like I sent it.

That helped me.

You know, like get my feelings out.

I understand the value of that.

If I had sent them, it would not have benefited to a productive conversation.

I had a lot of things to say and I just did my best to...

stay on my side of the street and keep it simple.

But I did a lot of typing and deleting.

Mostly when I do that, I go, oh, I can say it so much better and I'm going to kill them.

Whoa, what?

If I do stuff like that, I'm like, I'm going to do this.

I've tried that exercise before.

Write it down and then just throw it away.
