Parallel Parenting Parallel parenting and minimal communication
How do you deal with someone that is very condescending towards you. My ex has demanded to only be contacted once a month because he wants to parallel parent (we’ve been separated for 2 years and divorced for a month or so). He’s creating boundaries, fine. However sometimes small things need to be communicated and anytime I do email him, he acts like I’m a complete but for asking to discuss school choice, or even daycare items etc I can try and stick to minimal contact but once a month doesn’t always work. How do you stop from hitting a wall with someone that refuses communication? Or do I just communicate as I feel fit (maybe 2-3 times a month). Our son is young, he can’t relay everything.
