Welcome back to the Divorce Devil Podcast! 😈 If you’re divorced over 40 struggling with co-parenting, you're not alone. I'm David, with Rachel and we're diving into the messy, complicated world of co-parenting. We're tired of sugar-coating it. This is real life, real challenges, and real solutions.

In this episode, we're talking about our top 5 co-parenting tips – both from my "non-cordial shit show" perspective 💩 and Rachel's more "love and light" approach ✨. No matter what your co-parenting style is, there are strategies that can make your life easier (and less stressful for your kids).

We're tackling:

• Unrealistic Expectations: 🤦‍♂️ Why you thought you could still be friends with your ex (and why you probably can't).

• Setting Boundaries (and Sticking to Them!): 🚧 No more "nice parent" bullshit. Rules are rules.

• The "Holiday Harmony" Myth: 🎄 How to survive Christmas, birthdays, and every other special occasion without losing your damn mind.

• The Ping Pong Effect: 🏓 Why inconsistent rules between households are messing with your kids.

• Taking the Personal Hurt Out of It: ❤️ Loving your kids more than you hate your ex (even when it's REALLY hard).

• Communicating Like an Adult (Even When You Don't Want To): 🗣️ Using apps, texting strategically, and biting your tongue when necessary.

• Recognizing What You Can and Cannot Control: 🧘‍♂️ Focus on yourself, your kids, and your own household. Let go of the rest.

• Embracing Flexibilities 🤸‍♂️ Learn how to compromise and bend so your kids can enjoy their time.

We get it. Co-parenting is a grind. It's frustrating, it's exhausting, and it can feel like a never-ending battle. But it's also an opportunity to put your kids first, create a stable environment, and show them what it means to be a good human being.
