Diane & Rick explore how AI might assist co-parents in constructing productive co-parent communication. What they learn is that AI has not yet learned enough about toxic people to understand how certain types of communication may feed into their motivations, instead of managing them. They conclude it could be a helpful resource, but is not yet ready for prime time!

Listener Veronique shares that she is paying for all her children’s activities, but they have no idea their other parent is shirking his responsibility. Is this protecting the kids or hurting them? Will they just take advantage of mom if they don’t know it’s hard for her to bear this financial burden alone? Diane & Rick discuss that saying”no” to kids can be a healthy option. They also explore how parents can lead kids to their own conclusions, without getting into the facts or a one-sided perception of the truth.
