For Mom's That Are Not With Their Children's Father...

How do you maintain positive interactions with the father?

I am curious to see what others have to say in regards to this.  I will add my two cents later :)

We are friends. I know why he left. I understand it completely. He regrets leaving now.

 Well i am in this situation.. We both want the same for our son.. To feel loved and be the best he can be. He did wrong wich is why we are in this situation. But we have always stayed friendly for jacob's sake. We have a set schedule that gets followed as best it can at both households. we have weekely phone calls to talk about what went on while he was in the others care. We do "family" things with both sides of the family at least once a month. Like go to the zoo etc... When we have our disagreements we never have them in front of jacob. He turns 16 in 10 days and we are having a huge family party. We have done our best to raise a happy child that loves both of his parents emmensly!! Believe me it has not been easy but we have done what is best for him not for us.

my kids father is not in the picture and my husband adopted them a yr ago and it's the best thing we ever did for our 2 now we've got a little sister for them both coming in Dec. Their bio father has been out of the pic since 2008 when they we under 2 so they dont' even know who he is. He saw them 8times before he stopped and that was in a 2yr period

 We were better friends than we were together and we are friendly to eachother. My daughter is happy which is really my main focus.
