Group of Temples at Khajuraho, India

On last week’s “Co-Parenting Matters” show, we discussed ways to get over your ex, for your own well-being and to facilitate your co-parenting relationship.  We talked about strategies for healing from that severed relationship and ushering in a fresh start to the next chapter in your life, which for many of us, includes someone new.  This week on the show, we follow where that discussion can lead logically: “Sex and the Single Parent.”

Joining us will be Rachel Sarah,  founder of SingleMomSeeking.blog/com and co-founder of SingleMommyhood.com, two of the most popular single parent blogs. Rachel is also the author of the celebrated dating memoir, Single Mom Seeking. And RJ Jaramillo, founder of SingleDad.com, will be representing for the fathers. SingleDad.com is the hottest cyberspot and online community for single fathers. We’ll be talking about dating, finding love, and, yes, sex, as single parents.

This week’s “Co-Parenting Matters” show was very particular special because our kids’ stepmom and Mike’s wife, Sherry, joined us for our discussion about step-dating.  Our other guest, Yvonne Kelly, a wonderful certified step-parenting and relationship coach and co-founder of the Step and Blended Family Institute, defines the step-dating process as beginning the moment someone begins to date a parent, and conversely, the moment a parent begins to date.  So what are some of the challenges and considerations involved with step-dating?  We covered some of them tonight:

  • Honest communication between the partners
  • Realistic expectations
  • Balancing parenting demands with the needs of the relationship
  • Timing: When to introduce the kids?  How soon is too soon?
  • What about the other co-parent?
  • And more!

If you missed the show, you can listen here.
