Happy New Year

© Annelies Mouring

Welcome to the new millennium, a new year, a new day- so maybe it's time to have a new outlook on life. So, in style with all the new millennium hoopla, here's a top 10 list of Y2K (You 2 kids) new year's resolutions!

10. Today, I will kiss my kids and tell them how much I love them.

9. I will do things to the best of my ability to help "share" my kids with their other parent.

8. I will write down and track all my activities regarding my children and their other parent.

7. I will copy receipts, pictures and other items for my children and send them regularly to my ex.

6. I will watch what I say and not say "bad" things about my ex.

5. I will learn to express my feelings in an appropriate manner and not burden my children with them.

4. I will find a support group or other support system to help me cope. Try any of the following websites:

3. I will remind my children of the good and positive things their other parent does and can do.

2. I will remind myself that the other parent has feelings too. I will make an effort to include them in all the major decisions affecting my children.

And the Number 1 New Millennium- New Year's Resolution:

1. We will remember to act like a family because we are important to each other.
