What I'm Thankful for: My Fellow Co-Parents
Wednesday, 25 November 2009 | 04:16

Well, I (Deesha) am in the airport TGIFriday’s sipping blackberry mojitos waiting to board a flight to spend Thanksgiving and a long weekend with my fiance JB, my future bonus daughters, and extended family.  JB’s done most of the shopping and is cooking the turkey, one bonus daughter has baked a cake,  and I’m happily doing the rest.

Last year this time, JB, our four girls, and I spent four days at an indoor waterpark and lodge.  It was non-traditional fun, but we still feasted in style on Thanksgiving Day.

Our co-parenting and holiday plan: Mike and I alternate Thanksgiving with the girls.  So this year they will be with him, his wife Sherry, and extended family.

In the spirit of lowercase-r thanksgiving, I’m re-posting What I’m Thankful For: A Co-Parenting Challenge.

Cheers!

For co-parents, whether to get the H1N1 vaccine is a joint decision
Thursday, 5 November 2009 | 08:51

“Whether to vaccinate your children is a major decision, and therefore should be agreed upon by both parents. Speak together with your pediatrician, and consider his or her opinion about the matter. Listen to what your co-parent has to say, and talk over the pros and cons of vaccinating your children. Make every attempt to come to a decision together, taking into account the best interests of your children.”

From the New Hampshire Family Law Blog–read the rest.

"They don't love each other, so how can they possibly love me?"
Sunday, 30 August 2009 | 09:14

“My internal dialogue would sound like this: They loved each other and created me.  I am half of each of them.  But now they don’t love each other, so how can they possibly love me?  Maybe half of me.  That I could understand; but never all of me.  Not the parts that come from the other.  But I can’t be split in two, I can only be one whole person.  And if they can’t stand half of me, it’s not possible for them to love all of me.  Maybe I can hide.  But I can’t help being the constant reminder of the marriage they didn’t want.  I can’t help always requiring an explanation. Wouldn’t their lives be easier if I just didn’t exist?”

Who said this?
