how can I co-parent with the stbx Kinney26: I was thinking today about how I would like to instill the same moral values in my son as I have. Like family is #1 and to honor your commitments. Especially, marriage is sacred and should be taken seriously. How am I going to do this when my stbx has already gone against this stuff. If she is unhappy with something she quits. obviously marriage isn't important to her. how do I stop him from always taking the easy way out and using the excuse, well mom did it, or mom said it was fine.
Re:how can I co-parent with the stbx cloud: Kinney,
Once again, you and I are in the same boat. My stbx is a good mother but there are a lot of things that I want to instill in my daughter that I know my stbx can't or won't.
My stbx probably thinks she can do it all and thinks I'm a great Dad but not necessary. I know in my heart that I can raise my daughter with some value and morals and some beliefs even if it's on a part-time basis.
I think whoever my daughter sees as being the most stable and the one that inspires her--not orders--to be the best person she can be and to experience life from the heart and the mind will be the one that she listens to the most. And I plan to be that person.

I am speaking from being a child of a divorced family.
