Do you think bm should have to coparent with sm at all?

Bullet's blog post got me thinking about this.

Me personally, I don't ever want to talk to bm so dh does all the interacting with her.

Nope. We have two very different ideas of parenting, and considering she is not even supposed to be alone with SS...I don't see me taking anything she has to say into consideration as to what occurs here. DH choose to have a kid with her, she's his problem, not mine.

I think it is the mom and dad's job to do the parenting, decision-making, etc. My ex will consult with his wife when we are making arrangements for the kids, changing schedules, etc. but ultimately it is up to me and him to decide. If she tries to bring things up when we are all together, I tend to divert the situation and let him know I'll send him an email or something along those lines.

With my DH and his ex, it is a very hostile arrangement where we have physical custody and she does EO weekend. There really is no consulting, etc and the less communication we have with her the better. The restraining order we have is helpful also.
