Key Challenges in Co-parenting
Hello single dads,
What challenges are you or have you faced about raising your child with someone else, a co-parent that doesn’t live with you?
How are you dealing with the challenges of access to your child or kids? Is this seamless? What about parenting styles between you and the mother? Are these aligned?
Would be great to hear your views.

Hi Sthe. For me one of the most challenging thing is Communication.
I have learned that effective communication is crucial when co-parenting, but it can be difficult when you and your co-parent are not in the same household. Misunderstandings, miscommunications, and differing parenting styles can lead to conflicts.
One thing that we are slowly practicing is intentional communication and even in small things we ensure that we communicate so that there are no misunderstandings.
It is working well so far.
Cheers,
