Coparenting in peace is a blessed gift to give your children. It is essential to value your children first above your own pain and forgive each other. I see my coparent as a soul who helped me bring my two adorables into this world. Despite what happened between him and I, we will always be our children’s guiding force and light. I refuse to let society, friends and family members to dissuade me from working alongside my coparent. Many people demonize and do not understand my coparenting relationship but God does. Let light and love open your heart and soul to work WITH your coparent.

Their purpose was to say blacks are persecuted. Ebt, WIC, Welfare, section 8, affirmative action, +15 points added to SAT scores, scholarships only for blacks, a media complex that shills only for blacks and minorities isnt enough for these people. They will never be happy until all whites are locked in cages or dead.
The reason they have a broken family is because the woman cares more about her career than her family. Simple as.

White People never been oppressed / white people receive welfare more than anybody / Once a bigot, always a bigot, cause skunks never lose their stink. Black Americans fought in the War 2, when they came back, they were not respected, didn’t receive vet benefits. Jim Crow laws /the KKK, they traded in their Hoods for police badges, police cars and German Shepherd, to kill people because of their skin.

Now, this is a worthwhile TED Talk. I can appreciate their honesty, openness in public and desire to love their child more than they evidently could one another (although it sounds like they truly share a common love). Personally, I think It a shame that for whatever reason (none of our business what it is) they cannot be a “typical” family. However, they stand as a positive example for parents in the 21st century that share the marriage and parenting experience of Ebony Roberts and Shaka Senghor. May God bless and guide them and their son all together.

It’s so good to see that there are others with the same mindset.
This is the message I preach to the father of my sons but he does not have the ability as yet to look beyond that which he knows and the unfamiliarity of my concept to his person causes me to wonder if he is resilient to see things differently.
My heart is firmed in the belief that making changes, makes the difference. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Wow, delete my comment, you disappoint me as well.
First, don’t waste your time, of course, others. Your magic only works on “the animal level”, which is like humans could be grown like Tarzan as well.
Moreover, when it comes to adversaries or allies, blacks asked national reparation for slavery while ignoring their ancient ancestors were alpha males who dominated the entire land of Africa, which was the reason why others walked out of Africa by risking their lives and built their homes on other continents and became others “races”.
Second, I never said your magic works. How could anybody make anything based on a wrong/false thing? See, you have no clear thought of what you are doing and what others’ saying. Not to mention that nobody has the responsibility to meet your expectation. Let alone, your expectation was only a one-sided imagination that only exists in your dream.
Third, easy come easy go, your laziness, fluke mind and to speculate advantage by trickery can only waste your time. Stealing others’ results doesn’t mean you really gain what you stole, let alone what you stole has nothing to do with the thing you wanted.
Forth, you have no clear thought about what you are doing which isn’t a problem can be fixed by one or two magics.

You make so much as a parent only by not talking bad about the other parent with your kid. My parents can have opinions about each other and that affects my perception very much, but luckily they never trashed each other, because that must feel like you can’t count on your parents or as if you had no one to trust.

My son’s father and I had an on again off again abusive relationship. It was difficult, to say the least, when we split up after 6.5 years. In a lot of ways I still have love for him, but we were always better friends than we were in a relationship. It does make our current relationships hard at times. But, as we tell our son, the one thing we all agree on is that we love our little boy. Our son has four parents & doesn’t have any memory of what it was like before. For him, it’s always been that way & always will be. We get looks & comments all the time from people who don’t understand how we co-parent. We even call each other mom & dad in public. A child can never have too many people who love him. During my pregnancy that’s what I wished for; “I want him to have more love, more friends & family, than he knows what to do with.” This wasn’t the future we had imagined while waiting for our baby to arrive, but for as long as we keep love in our hearts, so shall it be.

You put your kid’s chances of great success in the toilet by divorcing & contributing to societal problems as he’ll struggle with identity, loyalty, love, honor, trustworthiness, lust, possible molestation as he seeks other father figures, drug abuse, filling the family void with a gang family, etc.
It’s not the govt’s (taxpayers in reality) to pay for peoples’ kids. It’s YOUR responsibility.

That was very inspiring and agreed with a lot they said. But didnt agree that you just let a child do exactly what they want when they want. The supermarket being a strong point, I just didn’t agree with this statement. Is it ok to let your child still eat with their hands like an animal so they couldn’t use a fork when their older. Theres elements where you cant just let a child do what they want when they want. The supermarket comment I found very strange. Your educating you’re child how to behave in society et cetera. Just struggled with that statement. If that’s her view on a supermarket then apply that to everything else in life. Just doesn’t work that way.
