Start using a parenting-log app and you soon hit a small fork in the road: Should I share this with my co-parent?
Feeding times, sleep windows, mood notes, photos, quick observations — everything you've typed in a day, and the question of whether your partner sees it. Toggling a sharing switch feels trivial, but behind it sits a heavier question: how do the two of you want to design your shared information environment around your child?
The popular framing tends to go: Sharing = trust; not sharing = secrecy. That framing is too coarse. Some households thrive with full transparency; others stay healthier with less. This article tries to lay out a clearer set of criteria for that judgment.
