When you get a divorce, keeping your child at the forefront of all decisions that have to be made is the greatest part of wisdom. I'd like to congratulate you for reading this article, because this tells me you truly care about your children. You have chosen the better part.
Making decisions that affect your child's development, safety, health, education and happiness should, under the most favorable of circumstances, be made by both his parents. This means you're going to have to actually talk to your ex. I know that's so difficult for you emotionally, but once again, you'll have to suffer a bit so that your children enjoy the best benefits you can provide for them. No matter what you currently think about your ex, when it comes time to communicate for the sake of your
children, you're going to have to suck it up, be an adult, and act objectively. It's a tall order, but I'm convinced you can do it if I could.
Children love their parents to see the work they're doing in school. They are proud of their accomplishments and they love to please you, so they want you to be proud, too. You can only do that if you actually go to their school and see their work.
So, when it's time for the Parent Teacher Conference, this needs to be one time when the two of you lay down the tomahawks and objectively place your child's welfare ahead of any negative emotions you might be experiencing. If ever you wanted to be an actor or actress, here's a great place to practice. What is your motivation? Allowing your child to feel your sense of pride for the accomplishments he/she has created through their work.
