When divorced parents expend a lot of energy pointing fingers of blame at one another, the children suffer. Here are some interesting words to help you become more objective for your children’s sake.

Blame. We all do it. We blame others for things that they deserve to be blamed for and things that they probably don’t deserve. Placing blame seems to be a technique that we learn very early on. When you think of children even as young as two or three years old, you can hear them saying, “She did it. It wasn’t me!”

Divorced parents seldom have enough time for themselves. Here are three practical tips to help you create that much needed alone time.

Because you’re a divorced mom or dad, you’ve probably already felt the pinch of not having enough time for yourself. I think that it’s a perfect time to let the folks who love you, help you. You can lean on your family and friends now to give yourself some alone time. Don’t abuse the privilege though. Just use these practical tips reasonably and you and your children will both benefit.

Most happily married couples will admit that finding time for making love is difficult when children are in the house. The loving couple will make dates with each other to steal away when the children are at a friend’s house or otherwise occupied. These parents understand that their child does not need to be aware of their sexual lives. If this child sees his parents treat each other with loving displays of affection, he or she will see love. Yet even this child will be traumatized if he walks in on his parents during lovemaking. The rules need not be different after a divorce.
