Is this thing on? (photo: uncledave981)
We’ve got some great episodes of Co-Parenting Matters lined up for you (see upcoming show topics below), but we are still scheduling into 2010…
Calling ALL co-parents, and by all, we mean we’re inviting individuals, couples, former couples, step-parents, grandparents, adoptive parents, biological and non-biological parents, and others, regardless of sexual orientation, who are parenting children across more than one household to SHARE YOUR FAMILY’S STORY.
Do you find that when the topic of co-parenting is raised, families like yours are excluded from the conversation?
Do you consider yourself part of a non-traditional co-parenting arrangement?
Has your search for resources to support your co-parenting efforts resulted in little to nothing of use to you and your family?
Are you struggling with your co-parenting relationship?
Do you consider your family’s co-parenting experience a successful work-in-progress and want others to benefit from what you’ve learned along the way?
If any of the above is true, we want to hear from you! Please consider:
- Writing a guest post for us.
- Being interviewed by us via email.
- Contributing to our audio gallery by pre-recording your answer to the question “Why Does Co-Parenting Matter?” to be aired on a future episode of our live, weekly talk show “Co-Parenting Matters”
- Being a guest on “Co-Parenting Matters”
- Sharing the voices or experiences of your children related to being co-parented
Interested or know someone who might be? Let us know at info AT coparenting101 DOT org or contact AT coparentingmatters DOT com.
“Co-Parenting Matters”…of course it does!

Elsewhere on these Innanets, we recommend…
The Icing on My Divorce Cake: This co-parenting situation makes us feel a little less weird. Check out one of our favorite blogs, “My Life, Incomplete.”
“Could I Forgive Him One Last Time?”: This co-parenting mom gave her son, and her ex, and unforgettable gift. What a moving story and an example of c0-parenting honor and humility.
“How Much Do I Need to Trust My Ex?” Another one of our favorites, “Big City Dad.”
Finally, Big Little Wolf at the always-provocative, fantastically titled, “Daily Plate of Crazy” asks: “Why Must We Marry?”
