If it’s not about the kid, don’t discuss it
Craig believes it’s a best practice for divorced parents to not discuss matters that don’t pertain to the child. Delving into one another’s personal lives tends to lead to conflict, and is not good for the kid. “If it’s not in the best interest of your child, don’t even have a conversation about it. That conflict. [For example] something personal in the dad’s life. He’s dating someone new. Your concern should only be around your child, and their comfort level around the other parent’s new partner. But in terms of the other parent’s personal life, that has to be respected. They have a right to move on. All discussions should be around the decisions that are in the best interest of the child.”
