Family Of Daughter And Her Two Dads Have A Cute Photoshoot, But They’re Not A Same-Sex Couple

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s a common family. A young girl, her divorced parents, and her mom’s fiance. According to a recent study, about 40% of marriages include a spouse who had said “I do” at least to one other person in the past. What’s not that common, these guys actually make it work. In a viral Facebook post that has been shared over 136K times and liked more than 237K times, “bonus dad” from Hubbard, Texas Dylan Lenox described the heartwarming bond between all four members of his blended family, and if this doesn’t convince you that blended families can be loving families, nothing will.

    People like this are an inspiration! They put their daughter's well-being above all and she gets to grow up in a loving and stress-free environment, as all children should grow up. PS. Daddy David is really cute. He did say he's single, right? :'D

    @ Mont, they might have put their daughter's well-being above all, by having a divorce (ever thought about it that way around). Even if you're divorced that doesn't mean you love your child less or that you stop being responsible for raising your child. I think that as long as you keep that in mind, you never stop being parents even if your no longer a couple, divorce doesn't have to be a bad thing.

I imagine it makes things much easier. If all situations are positive, and both fathers (and mother) are good at their roles, Willow will be a very blessed girl. This is a nice dose of positivity that’s very rare in the world. Cooperation should be the norm if possible, but it isn’t. This was a good read. A+.

    Is it OK that I am major jealous? I had THREE fathers and none. There was the sperm-donor who took a fast hike when he got the bad news (I don't even know his name), the father who adopted me and died in a terrible accident when I was 6 months old, and the step-father my mother married 4 year later who hated me and my half sister so much we were eventually sent away from home to protect us from him. God bless ALL children who have even ONE loving father!

    This is lovely. I had thought my ex and his wife would be on-board with this kind of love for our boys and girls. (She had girls I had boys.) She opted for the Cinderella model stepmother. I will never experience that level of disappointment again. To this very day (youngest son is 40) if she sees him while out shopping she will go out of her way to make an ugly comment to him.

She just grabbed her camera and snapped a few pics before they went out to the dance...most do not consider snapping a couple of pics of their kids outside in the yard as a "photo shoot".

    My first husband wants nothing to do with the son we had together. Firstly, he reminds him too much of me, and secondly he didn't want a child that was "defected" (my son is autistic with extremely complex learning disabilities - also the most sensitive, empathetic, caring and compassionate young adult you could ever meet). It doesn't worry me, as his father was a violent brute in our marriage and my son never made the "daddy-son" connection: he was simply someone who sometimes turned up to visit his care facility and gawk at him stupidly. He's had a proper Dad for nearly twelve years now, in the form of my current husband. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary :)

    My parents divorced when i was in my early 20s. It was harder for my dad than my mom, but they moved on. She remarried and made it known to my step dad that my dad would be allowed to family events- birthday parties, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc if he chooses, because they share children and grandchildren together. My stepdad didn't raise a fuss. My dad came to several things,any chance he got, and they are now on friendly terms. My dad visits his ex in-laws, and my mom does so as well, with my stepdad. My parents talk about things from when my brothers and i were little, places they went and such, and instead of getting jealous or mad, my stepdad takes it as an opportunity to get to know things about his wife and step kids. It's nice to have them all together and possible without fighting. My mom didn't want her opinion of my dad to alter our opinion of him. She made sure to point out that he is and always has been a good dad, but they just simply grew apart .

    When my brother divorced his daughters mother and remarried, his daughter acted up and started becoming spoiled because of the tug of war going on between the new and old wife. But the new wife set the tone, worked with her step daughters mother to end the bad behavior for the sake of the child. Now I'm happy to say that my niece is the nicest, caring and most mature woman I know. The two of them raised an amazing person.

We felt it was better for our sons to learn that if a relationship doesn't work it doesn't have to end nasty. I count his wife as my best friend. For us it would have taken energy to be enemies but requires no energy at all to be friends

    We need more parents like this. I too am like this with my first husband. First, I refuse to call him ex. He was very much a part of my son's life until he became a man. I have a relationship with my first husbands second wife. She has come and spent the weekend with me and we get a long great. It is important for the child that they see things do not work out in life sometimes, but you can still be a good person and care about their other parent.

    This warms my heart. My baby girl has two daddys too. They are completely opposite is personalities and traits and she is a perfect mix of the two. She isnt shy anout telling people she has two dads. She loves them both and they both adore her. Im glad to see another family like ours out there.

    People like this are changing the world into a paradise on earth. I wish my parents had loved my sister and I enough to be able to move beyond their hatred for one another. Instead, they traumatized both children and each other. And neither child will ever have children of her own (we are both past the age now). Ugly divorces ruin lives, and prevent future generations from even existing.

    More parents should do exactly like this!! Don't argue, don't battle with custody, don't talk s**t about the other parent or his/hers new spouse. Learn to get along and be the example for the kids. I come from a broken home and my parents did pretty much everything WRONG.

    Most often children are less taken care of and appreciated in "normal" families than this happy princess Willow in her blended family. This must be the standard of love and care.

    That is a huge generalization. It is about having support / loving adults in addition to parents that is important to child a healthy / happy child.

    We need more parents like this. I too am like this with my first husband. First, I refuse to call him ex. He was very much a part of my son's life until he became a man. I have a relationship with my first husbands second wife. She has come and spent the weekend with me and we get a long great. It is important for the child that they see things do not work out in life sometimes, but you can still be a good person and care about their other parent.

    This warms my heart. My baby girl has two daddys too. They are completely opposite is personalities and traits and she is a perfect mix of the two. She isnt shy anout telling people she has two dads. She loves them both and they both adore her. Im glad to see another family like ours out there.

    Oh I can't wait for the punk kid at school to say "I bet my dad can beat up your dad." to this adorable little girl....and can you imagine the intimidation factor with her prom date or first boyfriend? They can dig the grave twice as fast! Tag team! Lmao!!

    People like this are changing the world into a paradise on earth. I wish my parents had loved my sister and I enough to be able to move beyond their hatred for one another. Instead, they traumatized both children and each other. And neither child will ever have children of her own (we are both past the age now). Ugly divorces ruin lives, and prevent future generations from even existing.

    These people are mature, loving parents and to be greatly admired.

    More parents should do exactly like this!! Don't argue, don't battle with custody, don't talk s**t about the other parent or his/hers new spouse. Learn to get along and be the example for the kids. I come from a broken home and my parents did pretty much everything WRONG.

    One of the biggest compliments my daughter ever paid me was when she told me that she asked her soon-to-be ex; “are we going to do this the hard way or the way my parents did it?”

    Heart-warming story and what great adults to come together in that way for the benefit of a lovely child.

    Photoshop the girl out and have the dudes kiss. You know that's what they want. It would be a more interesting story then this one.

    My gaydar is calibrated well. My immediate thought was that these two looked straight.

    Most often children are less taken care of and appreciated in "normal" families than this happy princess Willow in her blended family. This must be the standard of love and care.

    That is a huge generalization. It is about having support / loving adults in addition to parents that is important to child a healthy / happy child.

    Damn that mom literally looks like a monster! Good luck to the daughter. Talk about a confused upbringing!

    She will never know what the love of a mother is, but the two adults will be satisfied.
