With him, tuned into your bad days and tones of voice, with a condescending attitude implying you cannot separate your bad days from raising your son, it's a poor model of fatherhood, to your son, as he'll wonder truth and reality from his fathers impressions.

Co parenting, is a nice.concept, provided BOTH parties CAN and WILL treat the other with compassion and respect.

Otherwise, leads to confused young minds, if the disrespected parent shows respect to disrespectful one. They, in turn give their young minds credibility to disrespect, through bending over, conceding behaviors from the parent trying to make everything right in divorce, as they did in marriage.

I'm about to have a talk with my son, soon, for remarking on something that my ex criticized me about ruthlessly, relentlessly, mercilessly.

Certain things, that a father figure 'should do', such as teach their sons to not think so black and white, men like our exes, don't teach.

Eskie, makes some points in her post, worth reading over several times.

I've tried conceding before, it doesn't work, with men like this.
