Episode 1 - Sleepovers: The Co-parenting Battle No One Talks About

Welcome to the very first episode of Co-parenting Chronicles! Thank you so much for tuning in. We chose sleepovers as our kickoff topic because of a recent situation between our two homes that had us thinking about co‑parenting and sleepovers. Navigating sleepovers can already be tricky, but add co‑parenting into the mix, and the rules and expectations can get complicated fast.

In this episode, we dive into the big question: Should kids be allowed to have sleepovers at other people’s homes? And what happens when co‑parents don’t agree on the boundaries, comfort levels, or house rules? We’re breaking down, the challenges that pop up when rules don’t match, and how to keep things consistent, safe, and drama‑free for the kids.

Since this is our first time recording and editing, it's not perfect, but we’re learning, growing, and getting better each week. Thanks for bearing with us through the early stages! We are excited to grow with you!
