You can take most but not all

You can take most but not all. There is no acknowledgment of what a parent can do when the other parent doesn’t hold up their end of coparenting - it’s just realize they aren’t gonna be that and you are it and allll the labor that places on the one co parent. It’s almost like we allow @buse.

Must read

If you’re looking for any advice or direction after separating this book is a MUST READ! Good luck!

incredible book

Going into a separated relationship looking at and figuring out how I'm going to work out raising a child with my ex... This book hit on all the key points, was very educational and informative... The info is neither dry nor painstaking. I thoroughly enjoyed this audible program.

A personal guide on me at all time

I've read two coparenting books before this one and they do not compare to how great this book is. My daughter is four years old and probably the first half of the book is for my present. The second half is for my future, it's to prepare which I wish I've read this book a long time ago. Not only this book is unbelievably good, I reached out to the author for my own personal questions and she answered me with no hesitation whatsoever. She took the trout off her busy schedule to answer one of his readers. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I even bought two extra copies, one for the other parent and one to the judge in charge of our child custody.

Terrible Advise

Terrible advise. I stopped listening after it advised with a story about having the daughter stay with the mom for two months and only see dad at dinner a few times a week because the daughter has a recital. How about both parents help the daughter through the struggle and both engage as parents? Absolute garbage advice that I hope no one listens to.
