"Mirror, mirror on the wall — who's the best co-parent of them all?"

"The one who isn't asking." 🪞

This one stings a little. Because the people most obsessed with being seen as the good parent are often spending energy that could go toward actually being one.

The coparents who are genuinely doing well aren't asking a magic mirror for validation. They're at the school play. They're returning texts on time. They're not making the handoff weird.

Self-awareness is the beginning. And the question "Am I being a good coparent?" matters most if you're willing to sit with an uncomfortable answer.
