In the video, Mom’s ex-husband arrives to pick up their son for the weekend. Instead of making a quick exit, he steps inside to catch up with the boy's stepdad and spend quality time with his ex-wife’s younger children. The wholesome interaction captured in the video is truly endearing.
A Message of Gratitude

“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.
Why New Year's Resolutions Fail
It's that time of the year when you're feeling like this past year was a complete bust. You want change. So, like everyone else, you decide to come up with a list of Resolutions for this New Year. You are full of enthusiasm and excitement because you tell yourself that this year it's going to be different.
According to the American Medical Association (AMA), some 40-50% of people partake in this yearly tradition, but depending on which statistic you look at, only 10-15% of these people will eventually succeed in reaching their goals. And that's being generous.
So where do we come up short? The answer is simple. We don't have a plan and therefore we focus on the wrong things.
In actuality, making resolutions is not a bad thing. The problem usually comes from the lack of motivation and accountability that inevitably follows this period of excitement. You have to transform your enthusiasm into concrete and sustainable plan.
To increase your odds of success, you will need some accountability. Yes really. Those without it reduce their chance of success by half.
It's the same principle with Rehab programs. Why do you think they suggest the addict go to daily meetings? It's not so much that they will be learning new tools and skills (although that is part of it), but most of the benefit from those meetings comes from the support and accountability that they get from their peers.
So where do we get accountability? There are many places. Enlist friends and family. Tell as many people as you can. (Note: Tell people that will be supportive and hold you to realistic expectations.) Have a plan on how to accomplish your goal. List the steps. If you're not sure where to start, think about hiring a Life Coach or a professional mentor. Join a support group. You can even do it online. Just make sure there is a measure of accountability.
If you have a goal in mind, start right away. Don't wait until the end of the year. Just start! Why wait until the end of the year? It's very seldom that conditions will be perfect. So go ahead and make that jump!
The new year does not hold the answers, but you do. The real question is, are you ready to embrace change? Think about it. You've been stuck in a dead end job, or you've wanted to quit smoking. Or maybe you want to lose weight or quit drinking. What is that worth? If your resolution has been on your mind for awhile, don't you owe it to yourself act on it?
Don't get caught up in the trap. Put the cigarette down, get rid of the junk food in your house or start putting resumes in. Action brings results. Start now. Not tomorrow. Not tonight. But now! You've thought about it and talked about it. The only thing that is stopping you is you.
If you take nothing else away from this article but this one thing, I hope that it’s that there is never a perfect time except right now to start acting on your goals.
