Be an OK ex-husband

My daughter is applying for a new school and we were evaluated by a child pyschologist as part of the process. Here is something nice that she said:

“Mr. and Mrs. D** have been divorced for three years, but live near each other, are extremely amicable, and work very well together when it comes to the lives and best interest of their children.”

12/08/06 Watched over my sick son so my wife could go skiing with our daughter.

Be supportive, non-judgemental, considerate which she thinks means paying on time, bringing them back on time, being flexible about the schedule.

My goal here is to do what is in my kid’s best interest. It is in my kids best interest for me to pay legitimate expenses as quickly and easily as possible. It is not in my kids best interest to over pay or pay for expenses that she does not incur. It is in my kid’s interest for us to be able to communicate effectively and make good decisions as a team.
