Co-parenting is challenging. Most households are no two-income households which means we’re all balancing the stresses of work life along with the chaos of our kids’ schedules. All these time-constraints mean that we often have to coordinate with our co-parents AND family members and friends in order to get the kids where they need to be every day.
This chaos puts us at a high risk of being unavailable when an important call comes in. For example, if your child’s ride to practice suddenly cannot get your child where s/he needs to be, there’s going to be a time-sensitive phone call headed your way. The problem is, how could that person know whether it’s you or your co-parent who needs to handle the situation? In another example, what if the school calls because your child is sick and needs to be picked up? If you’re in a meeting for the next several hours, your child might be stuck in the nurse’s office until you check your voicemail.
There’s a simple solution to these challenges. Co-Parent Hub ensures that whenever those important calls, texts, or emails are sent your direction, both you AND your co-parent receive them at the same time. There’s no need for the school to make multiple phone calls. There’s also no need for you to receive one of those calls, only to then have to make another call to your co-parent to have him/her handle it. Co-Parent Hub will make sure you BOTH receive the message so your child isn’t stranded and you can keep the trains moving.
How does it work?
When a call comes in through your Co-Phone line, we ring both co-parent phones. Whoever picks up the call first, gets to have the conversation. Once that conversation completes, the recording of that call is then sent to both parents. The co-parent who did not have the conversation can then listen to everything that was said and know exactly what’s going on. There’s no need to relay messages or play the telephone game because you both hear the message right from the source.
For SMS messages and emails, the process is very similar. Whenever a message comes into your Co-Text or Co-Email, we will simply forward that message off to both co-parents at the same time. You both get 100% of the messages in real-time.
There’s also no reason why you can’t use your Co-Parent Hub tools in other settings. For example, it can be very helpful to put your Co-Phone on file at the car repair shop so that when your car is ready, both of you will know about it. Alternatively, you can put the info on file with your bank so that any fraudulent transaction alerts or other important communications get sent directly to you both. The use-cases are almost endless.
