I am a divorced dad of boys 11 & 8, I'm confused about Mother's day. Their mother & I have 50/50 custody & get along for the most part. My question is on Mother's day I think it's important to teach the boys to respect their mom(women) and have always made it a big deal. The last few years (post divorce) I've had the boys invite her to our church then go to breakfast where they give her their presents. But is that confusing to them? Should I just have them do gifts & not breakfast? I feel it's healthy for the kids to see us get along even though we are divorced & lead separate lives. Help!!!!
I think the way you are doing it is just fine.Kids need to see their parents getting along with each other and learn that sometimes you can like each other but not love each other but still get along. They need to get the feeling they can go to either parent if they ever need help at doing anything.
