I recently celebrated a birthday, and due to pre-scheduled activities involving our kids, my ex and I were in the same place for much of the day, then together even longer despite my desire for birthday time alone with my kids.

We all know (from supermarket tabloids, if nowhere else) that Jon and Kate Gosselin have separated. Despite this fact, they have chosen to continue taping their reality TV show for a new season of Jon and Kate Plus 8.

I’ve been divorced for almost nine years, and in that time my ex-wife and I have made it a point to put the kids first, and try our best to get along as coparents. For the most part, it’s worked. Our kids are happy, healthy confident, social, smart, well-adjusted. (Proud papa, can you tell?) They [...]
