During a recent interview with Massawe Japanni, media personality Gituro shared her experience with co-parenting and reflected on her past relationship.
“If I had the chance, I would have made my husband my friend,” she said. “I didn’t build a friendship with the father of my children. By the time he tried to save the marriage, it was already too late. As women, we often check out emotionally long before the relationship ends.”
Gituro also discussed how they now communicate for the sake of their children. “We talk, especially about the kids and what they need. I can’t handle everything alone all the time. Sometimes, I ask him to speak with them because I won’t look for another father while their dad is still around. I encourage my children to stay in touch with their father.”
In the same conversation, another woman, Ivy, shared her perspective on co-parenting after separation. “I have never had a bad relationship with my baby daddy, even though we separated. We are very good friends, especially with his wife. We spend a lot of time together.”
