April 18, 2025The Harsh Realities of Co-Parenting: What No One Tells YouNavigating the treacherous waters of co-parenting after a relationship ends is rarely the picture-perfect scenario many hope for. In this raw, unfiltered exploration, we dive deep into why co-parenting arrangements so often fall apart and what truly matters for the children caught in the middle.At the heart of most co-parenting failures lies inconsistency. When one parent shows up only when convenient, sends money sporadically, or remains disconnected from their child's daily life, they're not truly co-parenting—they're creating instability. I share my personal experience as a mother of eight with four different co-parenting relationships, alongside insights from single fathers including my brother who raised his daughter alone. The perspective from both sides reveals a common truth: children need reliability more than they need gifts or occasional appearances.The emotional landscape after a breakup creates additional complexity. Jealousy over new relationships, attempts to control the primary parent, and bringing personal grievances into parenting discussions all poison what should be a child-centered arrangement. As I explain through both research and real-life experience, children ultimately sense the imbalance—they know which parent consistently shows up and which one doesn't. This awareness shapes their understanding of relationships and what they should expect from others.Perhaps most compelling is the research suggesting children fare better with one consistent, loving parent than with an unpredictable second parent who appears randomly in their lives. This challenges common assumptions and forces us to ask: when does maintaining a difficult co-parenting relationship cause more harm than good? Whether you're currently co-parenting, contemplating separation, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers honest guidance for putting children's wellbeing first when navigating divided parenting relationships.What co-parenting challenges have you faced? Share your experiences in the comments, and if you've found strategies that work, your insights might help others in similar situations.

March 21, 2025Breaking Down the Headlines: Health, Politics, and Conspiracy TheoriesThe world seems to be spinning faster than ever, with breaking news hitting us from every angle. This raw, unfiltered deep dive examines the most pressing issues currently shaping our lives—from resurging diseases to bizarre transportation accidents and everything in between.Health crises are back with alarming force. Measles has returned, claiming its first death in decades in Texas, while a particularly brutal strain of flu has been sending people to their beds for weeks. My own battle with this season's flu left me dizzy and debilitated for nearly a month, providing a firsthand glimpse into the severity of what's circulating. Meanwhile, tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas City raise questions about transmission and whether masks might make a comeback. Are these resurgences related to changing vaccination patterns or immigration? The questions deserve serious consideration without quick judgment.Transportation safety concerns have reached new heights as planes seemingly fall from the sky with unusual frequency. The FedEx aircraft that caught fire supposedly after hitting a bird brings up questions about radar systems and safety protocols. When Elon Musk suggests these crashes might be related to Verizon's network issues—conveniently positioning his Starlink as the solution—we must ask whether corporate interests are clouding the conversation around public safety. Similarly, global emergencies like Chile's massive power outage affecting 19 million people and Brazil's deadly combination of record heat with water restrictions paint a troubling picture of our planet's stability.Political decisions continue to transform society, with transgender rights in sports and military service being hotly debated. The criminal justice system sees potential reform through stories like Alice Marie Johnson's pardon and new role recommending further pardons. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories about political figures grow increasingly mainstream, reflecting our collective uncertainty about who and what to believe. Through it all, there's hope that this period of revelation, though overwhelming, will eventually lead us to a more honest and equitable world. Want to share your thoughts or join me as a guest?
