Another interesting aspect of their coparenting style? Chris is single and looking for love — and Lindsay is cheering him on. But obviously, finding the right woman will take some effort from this blended family.
"Once Chris finds love, she obviously has to also love this crazy life we live," said Lindsay. "This woman would have to come meet the family and really get a feel for how we live and how much care Lucas requires."
On a lighter note, Lindsay said she'd hope that Chris's suitor would know her way around the kitchen.
"She would have be patient, kind, and a damn good cook," joked Lindsay. "We could really use some help in that department! All kidding aside, she would have to be the right fit. Chris, Mike, and I have committed to staying together for our small children. We aren't sure how long our older kids will be with us, but we know that the three of us parents are a package deal."
Lindsay also gave parents who are toying with the idea of living as a blended family some sage advice.
"My advice to any parents out there thinking of blending their families together would be to always be honest, and have open communication," she said, adding that, "Sometimes you just need to sit down and hash things out. Don't go to bed angry, and if you have any doubts then maybe this sort of situation isn't for you."
But for parents who still get see eye-to-eye with their exes, it might be one of the best decisions you could make.
"If you get along with your ex, and if your spouse and your ex get along, why not do this for your children? One mortgage, one food bill, one utility bill, and a whole lot of love."
