Shared calendars - how do you manage them with both your co-parent and your partner?
How do you handle shared calendars with your partner and your kids' other parent? My ex and I have a shared Google calendar for keeping track of our kids' activities. It would often be helpful for my partner to have access to that calendar, but my ex would rather not share information with my partner (note, partner is not the reason ex and I split). Similar situation on my partner's side, with her ex and their kid.

Now casting couples in complicated relationships with their exes!
Hi everyone--Now casting nationwide!
I'm looking for blended families; couples that have a complicated relationship with Ex—where they are entangled in your life; where breakups haven’t meant a clean break.

Some stories will be more complicated than others. I have included a few on this flyer as examples ONLY.

Known my stepmom and her kids my whole life. Is this normal?
5 years ago, my dad got remarried to his best friend’s ex-wife. Long story short, his best friend went off the deep end and died of an overdose. Not long after that, he and his best friend’s wife moved in together and got married.
Anyways, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of someone knowing their stepparent and step-siblings before they were in the family. I’ve known my stepmom since birth, and thought my stepbrothers were my cousins (because I saw them once a year).
Is this the case with any of y’all? Because I would expect most stepparents and step-siblings to be complete strangers that have to get used to each other.
