As single mums, life often feels like a balancing act. On one hand, you're the loving, nurturing parent your children need. On the other, you might feel pressure to become the "fun parent" they want. Throw co-parenting into the mix - especially with an ex who takes on the role of the Disneyland Dad, prioritising fun over routine - and that balance can feel impossible to maintain. But here's the truth: being the fun parent isn't all it's made out to be. In this episode, we dive into why competing to be the "fun parent" isn't the answer, how the role of a Disneyland Dad impacts co-parenting, and why providing stability is the ultimate gift you can give your children.
