Co-Parenting After Divorce

You tried the lemonade stand. Your kid was fired up. You were hopeful. Then came the pricing argument. The spilled sugar.

You’re holding a baby and wondering how you got here. Your body is wrecked. Your brain feels like static.

You’re scrolling through another list of learning activities. And already feeling tired. Your kid’s teacher sent three links this week. All require apps.

You’re tired of scrolling through wellness advice that sounds great until you try it at 6 a.m. with three kids and zero coffee. I’ve been there.

I’ve watched my kid stare at a tablet for forty-three minutes straight. And felt that familiar guilt crawl up my spine. You know the drill.

My kids are screaming about screen time again. One wants Roblox. The other wants YouTube. I’m holding a flashcard like it’s a shield.

My phone buzzes. Again. I glance down. My kid stands there holding a half-built tower of blocks. “Can we do something together?” I say yes.

I’m tired of watching my kids scroll while I pretend it’s “family time.” You are too.

You’re standing in the kitchen at 7:03 a.m. Milk is everywhere. Your kid is crying. Your phone is buzzing. And you haven’t had coffee. I’ve been there.

You feel it too. That quiet dread when dinner turns into three people staring at separate screens.
