Baby Mama Drama – Are You Guilty of It?

Ok let’s be honest ladies, baby mama drama – are you guilty of it? Have there been times when you made more of an issue than needed? I know that I have been guilty of it many times! After many years of working on myself and how I deal with my ex I found a few things that I believe were at the root of my personal baby mama drama….

1. I was still hurt/angry – causing me to want to lash out

2. Ego – the belief that I knew more than him, was a better parent than him

3. Other people’s input – allowing others to cause drama in our relationship as parents

In today’s podcast I dive into how these things increased the drama that I was bringing into our co-parenting relationship….

Have you ever caused drama? Have you been guilty of it? Have you been able to realize when you were causing more drama than needed and were able to adjust?

Like it or not, if your ex is involved with your child’s life then you will always need to have a relationship of some kind with them – wouldn’t it be nice if it was at the very least civil? And let’s face it, we already have enough drama in our lives to bring any more into it.

XOXO

  Hi there. So sorry for the late response your comment was originally flagged as spam, not sure why….
  So little ones that age can sometimes bite or hit because they don’t fully know how to express themselves. However, that doesn’t mean that the behavior is ok. I would honestly talk with your boyfriend and tell him what is going on and ask him what he would recommend you do to get his son to stop. It is always difficult to talk about behaviors and discipline of someone else’s child but it is definitely a subject that should be talked about. Setting boundaries is important. I hope that helps.
