“When your ex is only supposed to pick up his son… but he comes in to see your husband, and your other children,” the woman wrote over the heartwarming footage.
She added, “I’m so lucky to have two mature men who have spent the last nine years getting along… for his sake. And how nice for my children I’ve had since, to love seeing their big brother’s dad, too.”
Praise From The Community
The video has touched many hearts, with commenters applauding the kindness and maturity displayed by all involved.
“That’s two secure men there,” wrote one user. “Love it.”
Another added, “This was so pleasant to watch. After having parents who split and this never would have happened this was such a beautiful sight to see. Well done to you all. Coparenting isn't easy."
A third said, “The right thing to do for the kids.”
"It's So Lovely To Be At Peace"

This video is a testament to the strength and beauty of a supportive co-parenting relationship, showing that with maturity and mutual respect, families can create a loving and nurturing environment for their children, no matter the circumstances. "It's so lovely to be at peace, I can only imagine the energy it must take not to be..." she captioned.
For those who don't have the perfect relationship with their ex, take heart. Every situation is unique, and building a positive co-parenting relationship takes time, effort, and patience.
Remember that progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Focus on creating a loving environment for your children and know that with time, understanding, and communication, even the most challenging relationships can improve. There is always hope for a better tomorrow.
Stress Is a Symptom of Our Resistance to Change
Stress.
We know it from its crushing grip. We identify it by its crippling weight. Its not-so-subtle waves of exhaustion and overwhelm. Its tell-tale undercurrent of anxiety about the future, mixed with paralyzing fear that the other shoe is about to drop.
Stress Is a Symptom of Our Resistance to Change
Hans Selye, the Austrian-Canadian physiologist and researcher who first coined the term “stress” in the 1930s defined it this way: “Stress is the nonspecific response of the body to any demand for change.”
Put another way, it’s not the events in our lives that cause the stress -- it’s our resistance to them.
It’s not our circumstances; it’s our unmet expectations, tangled up in our ideas of what should have been.
It’s not the changes, themselves; it’s our refusal to accept them when they arise.
It's not that we are powerless; it's that we are choosing to honor the "devil we know" at all costs, even if that means resigning ourselves to a life spent forcing square pegs into round holes.
But the truth is, stress isn’t a sickness to manage -- it's a symptom of our greater disease. A sign that our old ways of doing things are no longer working. A signal that we’re being invited to transform in some major (and therefore, uncomfortable) way, but are refusing to answer the call.
So today, friends, let’s vow not to ignore these whispers, but to listen for them. To honor them. To choose to see them for what they really are: an invitation to grow.
Because stress is nothing more than a sign that our presence is being requested.
It’s how we respond that matters.
