A method of child rearing, most prevalent among divorced or separated parents, wherein one party can berate, abuse, slander, malign, degrade, humiliate and demean the other party for failing to act within an arcane, undisclosed and unachievable list of arbitrary and misaligned goals, methodologies, and intentions, for the betterment of the children(s') well being and mental conditions.
Asil: "You can talk to your children when you learn how to co-parent! You have to listen to me!"

Nero: "Ok. What do you want to tell me?"

Asil: "You can only talk to them about the four topics I have assigned to you today! You cannot talk to them about tomorrow's topics! WE HAVE TO WORK ON CO-PARENTING!!!"

Nero: "I can talk to them about anything that doesn't harm them. They just asked what is for dinn..."

Get the co-parenting mug.
Co-parent means that there is another parent in the child's life even if both parents are not a couple and not living together. This is not a single parent who has the child 7 days a week and has no other parent in the child's life.
She calls herself a single Mom but her ex-husband has their son every second week. She is actually a co-parent.

Sharing the duties of bringing up your child(ren) even though you both hate each other.

The father is most likely a prick who thinks he is daddy of the year because he's changed a nappy but will most likely ring his Mammy so he can go and get pissed with his mates as he has no will power and is simply a waste of space.

All the mother wants to do is pick an argument and find out who and what he has been doing and is a jealous bitter bitch. She gets her hopes up most of the time.. is always crying and having a rant about the father.. probably putting sly digs about him on social media etc...
'How is the co-parenting going mate?'
'When we aren't arguing yeah it's all good, I've got my Mum to watch the kid tonight so lets get pissed!'

The ninth circle of friend-zoned, your friend is so not into you and yet has so much respect for you that they want their kids to marry yours. I doubt that there is any way out of this zone.
Person 1: my crush just told me that when she has kids she wants them to marry mine, what does that even mean??

Person 2: bro you've totally been Co-Parent-In-Law Zoned, you might as well just move on
