Co-parenting can be the most challenging thing in the life of divorced couples
because besides all the differences, arguments, and sometimes even hatred, there are innocent souls that should be well taken care of. Many times, exes must try their best to get along, all for their offspring’s well-being.
This was the case for Brandon Carpenter and his ex. Despite sharing a child together, the two decided it would be best to go their separate ways.
But as Brandon later revealed, separating doesn’t mean you are parting ways with an enemy — and this becomes especially relevant when you are parents of the same child.
Brandon Carpenter is a father of a beautiful baby daughter he loves to the moon and back.
Although he and his wife untied the knot and went separate ways, this loving father made sure to never leave his daughter’s side and be the person she can always rely on.
One day when Brandon went at his ex’s to drop off medications for the baby, he came across a sight that got him thinking. In a Facebook post he said:
“My child’s mother said our daughter isn’t feeling well and needs some Tylenol.”
“I bring her infant Tylenol and notice her fridge is completely empty other than some water.”
The Right Thing
Brandon went straight to the supermarket and purchased a long list of groceries for his ex.
“She works a full time job and then has my daughter,” Brandon later explained on Facebook. “She pays rent and all her bills plus she is paying off a car. So today I went shopping to make sure she had food for the next few weeks. Just because we aren’t together doesn’t mean I can’t provide for her if she needs it.”
Justified Reaction
Brandon explained that he did this out of respect for his daughter’s mom and understands that a happy mother makes a happy child.
“If my child’s mother is good then I know she is taking care of our daughter the best she can and that makes me happy. Some of y’all think I’m only going to provide for my child, but that’s thinking like a child. It’s time to grow up and take responsibility in all aspects of life!” Brandon concludes in his Facebook post.
Disagreements come up in every relationship, but it’s important to try to remain civil, especially when there’s a child involved. Brandon’s fine conduct is really something that every parent can look up to.
The story is a great reminder that no matter how good of a person one is, the society may always judge their actions. Brandon is an example of a perfect father who would do anything for the happiness of his child, no matter if he and the child’s mother are no longer together.
Now there’s a father who certainly understands a thing or two about life after separation! Share if you think Brandon did the right thing, too.
