Celebrating together even after divorce
[photo source: Breens]
Divorced with kids? Spending the holiday as if it was just another day?
Why not make your kids happier? It's still not too late. Pick up you phone and talk to your ex. Be reasonable and civil. For the sake of your children, shake hands and forget about your differences even for just a night.
"By demonstrating such unity during the holiday season, parents can imbue children with that cozy feel of connection and teach them important life lessons, Dr. Sophy says."
Read Babyzone's The Gift of Togetherness.
The kids will surely appreciate the gesture.
