I spent Father's Day with my ex... on his boat. It made my girls happy. While it wasn't my ideal day, it IS what I hoped we could have - a friendship that allows our girls to not feel like they have to pick sides or can't have both their mommy and daddy at big life events.
Now the GOOD part of the day... pictures...

How very smart and sweet of you...
you are really a treasure!
That's way cool of you and so good for the ladies. You are a rock star!
I am most impressed that you decided to go on the boat. You are just so good.
And the girls...I love their windswept hair!!
You are the best mom ever.
I love boats.
I can tell your girls had a great time. Sweet pictures!
What an unselfish mommy move. Great to hear it went well.
Yea for you, Lizzy!!! Love those big smiles!
You are AWESOME!!
Maybe you could teach Jon & Kate that lesson?!? hehehe
You are a great mom! What a great way to spend the day! Your ladies look like they had a blast!
WOW! I was shocked when I read this. I know how much you didn't want to do this. Good for you for making your babies happy. And I'm glad the time was somewhat enjoyable!!
Just think, you almost missed the opportunity to see those smiles. Thank you for the life lesson! Pretty ladies! Looks like it turned into a nice day for all.

Wow. What a way to pull up your big girl panties. The Ladies will definitely benefit from being around grown ups. Good for you.
(I'm not sure I could be that grown up.)
you are so awesome I am not sure i could spend 30mins with my ex left alone an entire day...you rock!
loved the pics beautiful family!
That transition from divorce to being civil to a friendly co-parenting is really healthy for the kids. They look really happy:-) Good job Mom:-)
I'm super impressed that you can have that kind of relationship with your ex. I can't imagine how hard it must be, but I think your kids will appreciate it.
Those pictures are amazing!
those are great Lizzy!
My parents are friends even though they are divorced and it has made it so much easier on us kids!
Cute girls!
You are wonderful. I know your girls will appreciate these efforts (even more than they already do) someday.
Looks like they had such a good time. Go, you! :)
I'm impressed Lizzie....you deserve a mom of the year award for that...the ladies look like they had a blast!
You done good, Lizzy.
I think it's great that you were able to do that. Your girls are lucky.
What fun!
I think it is SO great that you are able to get along with your ex in an effort to make things more pleasant for your girls... truly a great thing :)
Lizzie -- I am so proud of you! I also spent part of the day with my soon-to-be ex. I played nice and I paid for dinner for him, our son, and our son's girlfriend. When really all I wanted to do was run and get as far away from him as possible. Oh, well, I guess I have to be a grown up sometimes...ugh!! You are an inspiration girl!!
Hugs,
Rene
