Like you just have more time and it doesn't mean that I'm not parenting . Obviously , my kids are around on the weekend but also being divorced I have even more time . So here's the dirty little secret of divorce that no one talks about you .
I think I'm a big believer in nature and nurture . So I think , you know , some of it comes from genetics and , but yes , like my ex and I , we um we parent , we parented well and we continue to co parent well and I'm thankful for that and really appreciative of that and , but so that has been a very big change because when you have Children that are dependent on you , you don't really have a life that is your own , right ? And that changes kind of overnight , right ?
Obviously , my kids are around on the weekend but also being divorced I have even more time . So here's the dirty little secret of divorce that no one talks about you . Parent part time .
