96. Parent Like You're Divorced

The secret to happier partnered parenthood is acting like you're divorced. Before you panic, this is not an episode about getting divorced.

   

In this episode, I'm joined again by Margaret Mason Tate to talk about why so many partnered parents accidentally fall into one person becoming the default parent for basically everything.

   

Margaret and I break down how to borrow the best parts of a custody agreement without needing the divorce part, thank you very much. You'll hear how to think about dividing weekends, activities, holidays, and responsibilities in a way that gives both parents real ownership, real time off, and fewer opportunities to build a tiny resentment empire in the corner of your marriage.
