Co-parenting

I am often frustrated when I discover that some long held, cherished idea of mine has been successfully published as a book or article by someone else.  But this time, my mom-brain is just grateful that someone else had the time and energy to follow my thoughts to their logical conclusion.  It taks a village to raise a child.  Very few of us live in villages anymore.  Extended families are far away.  Some of us suffer through parenthood alone, while others give up on it entirely.  Grist, one of my favorite web pages, posted an article on a wonderful "Hey you got peanut butter on my chocolate," solution.
