#21

Custody over the second sock was still in dispute. 🧦

We laugh, but the division of extremely small, extremely low-stakes items is genuinely a thing in high-conflict coparenting. Whose jacket is this? Did it come from your house? Why is the water bottle missing a lid?

Everything becomes evidence. Everything becomes a negotiation. Everything becomes a potential grievance.

(Buy more socks. Seriously.)

What's the most absurd thing that's become a dispute in your coparenting situation? 👇
