If you co parent, how do you do with it? Does it go well? What are your arrangements? My ex and I co parent really well with our ten year old. She goes to his house every other week now that school is out but if she wants to go extra to play with her sister or she doesn't want to go one day, then we work around that. With my husband's kids, it's a nightmare. We have them most of the time and their mom likes to call at random and think she can just take the kids even though we may have plans. But if we call and ask if she can take them for a weekend, she says she's busy. And that's even if we ask months in advance. His brother was getting married and we knew the date three months prior to the wedding. We asked her as soon as we found out and she said no she couldn't take the kids that weekend. They had to stay with their grandparents. And then she's posting that whole weekend on Facebook how she's bored and misses her kids..
