Co-parenting blues

Being a Mom is hard, being in a 50/50 schedule I feel is harder. The Mom guilt is so real. I feel sometimes I am too hard on my child because I feel there is a lack of structure in the BDs home that I have to overcompensate for. In doing so, then I feel guilty when she is away from me. I try to do my best to keep a good balance but sometimes fall short. I then over indulge and spoil to make up for the extra guilt and time lost. Is anyone else in a 50/50 co-parenting situation and feel stuck in parenting expectations and/or guilt?

I understand where you are coming from

I’m still trying fo figure it out myself

I give you ladies all the grace in the world. I just established Paternity with my children's father and I'm so overwhelmed for the thought of one day I will be in this situation with my daugher. Her father is a little difficult and he does things that I don't agree with.... he has alot of females that are in our business and tomorrow I am meeting some of his family and not gonna lie I'm just praying that it goes well. It's just awkward for me forreal

I have 60/40 with my 17mo. I feel terrible when he's away. I definitely understand the feeling. It's hard😪

I was just coming on here to vent about this. I cry every day thinking about this nightmare that I’m in.

Do yall have lawyers? Therapists? I need both 😪

My husband had 39% and the parent guilt is very real for him. The spoilage to shoving so much into a very short 4 day visitation. And he doesn’t discipline at all.
