So I was speaking to a friend the other day who mentioned that they were in a platonic co parenting situation but not one where there was a separation but rather one whereby individuals actively make the decision to have and raise a child with someone they are not romantically involved with. I was really amazed by the whole situation and it seems to be on the rise worldwide.
I’d love to hear from anyone that has any thoughts and experiences regarding this.

Honestly, it's a maturity thing based upon how good a relationship there is between both parents.
Far too many parents (fathers and mothers) become selfish or unwilling to compromise on things that should be discussed at to what is best for their children. They turn their own feelings they have for their ex, in to something thst often gets in the way of the right thing for their children.
That is really all it comes down to. How willing you and the other parent are at working together for the good of your children, regardless of how you feel about each other.
Yes, some things you can't compromise on. But that then falls in to the other wanting to make an stupid/selfish decision in the first place if you have zero room for discussion. |

I have a friend who is a lesbian and she used a friend who is a gay guy as a sperm donner to have a child. The kid has a mum and a dad but obviously they've never actually been together. I think it's a lovely idea. |

This would be a fucking dream come true; They get my utmost respect..
Single full time dad & I literally go through world war three with my child mother on a daily basis. I pray one day we will be mature enough not to bicker and raise my son. A child needs both parents present. |
