[QUOTE="DDD, post: 544539, member: 35"] Although my Ex did not spend much time with the children similar issues came about...and confusion, of course! I just sugarcoated the differences. Basically "Mommy loves you and Daddy does to. That's the good part for you because you have two parents who love you very much. BUT there are alot of differences between Mommies and Daddies aren't there? We don't look alike. We don't wear the same clothes. Our voices are not the same. We also don't have the very same rules. I know it is confusing to have two different houses and two separate sets of rules BUT (smile) wouldn't it be boring is everybody looked the same, spoke the same, etc. etc." This conversation would carry over to others and how each person is different. Friends. Neighbors. Grandparents. Teachers. I'm not saying that all the children grew up to live happily ever after, lol, but by taking personalities out of it and using it as a basic life lesson it made it easier...at least at my house.
