Word of the day; Co-parenting.

Co-parenting is a term used to describe divorced, separated, or unmarried people who share the responsibilities and duties of parenting a child.  Co-parenting does not mean that one parent just up and leaves all the parenting and financial responsibilities to the other parent while they go out and have their on life showing up here and there just for appearance sake.  That would be abandonment, not co-parenting.
