The thing that makes it awkward - by which I mean the way in which I sometimes miss parts of conversations - is that K has his gmail set up such that he responds to joint-email messages from his personal account. So I don't always know when things have been replied to. But that is fairly simply mitigated by a quick conversation or message. The big thing that the joint account has accomplished for us from a parenting perspective is making sure we're both getting the same information at the same time from school/daycare, and making sure that in our two parent household with a parent of each gender, that Keith doesn't get left out.
