A mom, who has been separated from her husband for a year and is on the brink of divorce, sparked a family feud after her comment at her ex-MIL's party. She has been communicating with the nanny who takes care of her two kids during her ex-husband's time as he is usually unavailable. At the party, her ex-MIL praised them for co-parenting well, and the mom responded by saying she loves co-parenting with the nanny. This caused a backlash from her ex-husband and his family. She is now asking if she's the a**hole.

Co-parenting with the nanny: genius or too far?
Divorce and co-parenting can be challenging, but what happens when the nanny becomes the main caregiver during your ex's time with the kids? One woman found a solution by communicating directly with the nanny instead of her ex, but when she made a joke about co-parenting with the nanny, things went south. Was it harmless humor or a low blow? Let's dive into the debate and see what people are saying about this controversial approach to co-parenting.
NTA for calling out deadbeat Dad, but risky to do it around his family 🤐

NTA! OP made a harmless joke about co-parenting with the nanny. Ex is TA for not being a present father and for baiting OP. ESH for dragging ex ILs into it. Best case: ex steps up. Worst case: ex fires nanny out of pettiness.
