Handbook for Parents 2
Communication between separated/divorced parents
You can try this
(Dad leaves a message on mom’s mobile telling her he will be 30 minutes late due to traffic jam)
- Dad: Sorry, I am late. Good that you got my message.
- Mom: I hadn’t left the door yet when I got your message, so we could stay at home for a bit longer before coming over. No worries, have fun!
- Dad: Same as before, come pick the son up at 5pm.
- Mom: How about 5:30 p.m.? Just so you don’t need to rush?
- Dad: Good idea. 5:30 p.m. it is!
When discussing or making decision about the children, separated/divorced parents should communicate and show understanding towards each other.
