Conversations to Cut the Conflict

Ep 50 - Modern Co-Parenting in the Age of Smartphones & Social Media

Lisanne Iriks Episode 50

Co-parenting was never easy, but throw in constant notifications, texting wars, and social media exposure, and it can feel impossible.

How do you set boundaries when your ex has 24/7 access to you?

What happens when texts spiral into arguments that last all night?

Should your kids have unrestricted phone access between homes?

In this episode, I dive into the pros and cons of modern communication in co-parenting—when technology helps, when it makes things worse, and how to set boundaries that actually reduce conflict.

I also talk about:
✔ The anxiety of constant messages from your ex and how to manage it.
✔ Why social media can be a co-parenting battlefield (and how to avoid it).
✔ Setting tech boundaries with your kids—because Fortnite and TikTok are parenting challenges we never saw coming.
