Parenting Challenges
When you become a parent, your whole life changes. Suddenly, you have to put another human’s needs above your own, and you have to make sure they are as happy and as healthy as they can possibly be. But what happens when your baby starts acting strange? Behavior changes in a toddler are a sure sign that something isn’t quite right, and that’s exactly what one mom realized when her son kept staring inside his pants.
Many parents dream of giving their children a ‘traditional’ family unit, but sometimes this just isn’t possible. Dorothy and Michael welcomed their son Aiden into the world, but they quickly realized that their marriage wasn’t going to work. They argued non-stop, their words stung each other, and they struggled to parent their baby together. So, they decided to go their separate ways just a few months after Aiden was born.
Co-Parenting Struggles
After a huge amount of to-ing and fro-ing, they managed to come to a co-parenting agreement that worked for both of them. They both wanted the best for Aiden, so they agreed to share custody equally. However, something happened that made Dorothy question Michael’s parenting skills. Aiden’s behavior started to change, and Dorothy couldn’t ignore the signs.
Both Dorothy and Michael wanted to keep things as normal as possible for their son, so they agreed to a co-parenting schedule. Dorothy would look after him for one week, and then Aiden would go to his dad’s for the next week. They wanted to ensure that they got an equal amount of time with him so that it didn’t cause any more tension between the formerly married couple. For a while, this arrangement worked well.
