There are few things in life that I think are more important than the example that we set for our children, and the paths that we follow to mold them into healthy, well adjusted, functioning adults.
So what are you to do when no matter what effort you put forth, the other parent will not do what they should. And your children suffer because of their bad choices. For us, it's another day in the life, but there is always that fear, that worry that no matter how we try to intervene, no matter how pure our intentions, things will never be as they should.
The truth in each of us comes out when we are pressured. How the other parent will respond to the pressure is always a guessing game, and to us - it's also a risk. Is the imbalance too great? Will it push them over the edge? What is our back up plan? What is our safety?
Another weekend full of unsolicited information that tells the story that we always assume to be true.
