120. What to Do When the Co-parenting Feels Uneven

Imagine you’re in a situation where you step out for whatever
reason and your co-parent has to take over parenting during that
time. You’re at the gym or with friends or helping your mom, and
your co-parent texts you a question about the kids or unloads on
you about the past few hours as soon as you get home. You
struggle with feeling empathy for your partner while also feeling
resentful and frustrated.

important to recognize that your co-parent has a completely
different skill set from you and why that means it’s okay for
them to struggle sometimes.
