🧡 Boundary of the Day:
💞Keeping Kids Out of the Middle💕
Today’s boundary is a simple shift that makes a massive difference in your co-parenting dynamic:
“I will not engage in conversations that happen through the kids. All communication about parenting will be adult-to-adult only.”
WHY:
Because when messages pass through your child, they carry emotions, stress, and responsibilities that don’t belong to them. This boundary protects their peace and keeps communication clearer and calmer between households.
🌿 What This Looks Like in Real Life:
No “Tell your mom…”
No “Ask your dad if…”
No putting your child in the role of messenger or negotiator
You send the message directly, kindly, and clearly.
You don’t have to carry the emotional weight of two households. Set the boundary. Protect your child. Lead with clarity. A small shift creates a huge emotional difference.
