I live with my boyfriend, my ex-husband, and our children
0:03
My boyfriend brought up the idea of, why don't we just all live together
0:07
That was my idea. At first, everybody was kind of against it. It's hard, but it's really easy at the same time
0:13
because it's just kind of like roommates. A lot of people think it's awful and we're confusing the children
0:18
They assume that we're a thruffle. One of my other buddies told me that I sold my soul for this
0:24
My ex, Hannah, is coming over today, and I'm not so sure how she felt about the living situation
0:30
I thought it was a little weird, to be honest. Who would want to live with someone that they were married to
0:37
Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is hot, all right? This is boyfriend
0:41
This is ex-husband. And that's baby mama. My name is Megan. I am a mother of two
0:47
My boyfriend is Michael, and we've been together for about a year. Tyler's my ex-husband
0:51
We got married in January of 2020, and we got divorced in September of 2023
0:56
My daughter Ryan is two years old and my son Juniper is six weeks old
1:00
How do you guys divide household chores? Megan keeps the children alive and Tyler and I do the dishes
1:07
We do the cleaning. We do the cooking. That's inaccurate. My boyfriend was the one who brought up the idea of, hey, why don't we just all live together
1:19
Obviously, at first, everybody was kind of against it. we all moved to the east coast around the same time once we realized that finances just weren't
1:28
getting better and you know it was really impacting our daughter we just said let's do it
1:34
what will each of the children call you well i just call you michael sometimes she also calls
1:41
me tyler our dad and i'm like nope that's not right i'm not bad yeah we correct her immediately
1:49
Since I stay home with the kids, I'm obviously around them the most
1:52
When Tyler wakes up he kind of take over with Ryan When Michael gets home obviously he helps out with Juniper and with Ryan I just get to be closer to my daughter every single day
2:04
She has been much more calm. She's obviously happier having both her parents around all the time
2:12
What level of swallowing pride did it take to do this? It took a lot
2:18
And I'd say it still takes a lot every day. It's hard, but it's really easy at the same time because it's just kind of like roommates
2:27
There had to be a lot of healing and a lot of personal growth to even consider something like this
2:35
My boyfriend, my ex, has all just signed all these together. A lot of people think that we are horrible parents, that we're ruining Ryan's life, we're confusing her, which is also not the case
2:49
She fully understands mom and dad are not together. They assume that we're a throuple for some reason
2:57
We're not a throuple. Please take that out of your minds. Well, it's a little bit understandable, but we're not
3:05
One of my other buddies, he told me that I sold my soul for this. Some other people said, good for you, but you're an idiot
3:14
I got told I wasn't a part of like Mexican heritage anymore
3:18
Oh, yeah. I was like, that doesn't make any sense. I don't think it has anything to do with my heritage
3:24
We've had people in our personal life tell us that we're sinners, that we're awful people
3:31
And how about, on the fourth side of that, what about the supportive comments? So good for the kids
3:35
Like, this is going to benefit them. They're going to have so much time, get so much love
3:39
Some of our followers call us brother husbands. Kind of took it and ran with it because it's funny
3:46
there is no brother husbanding happening we not brothers clearly clearly we grow mustaches the same That is true How would you describe your relationship with each other
4:04
Better. Definitely better. Definitely better. I did not get along from the beginning
4:11
It took a very long time for them to even be in the same room
4:16
After I got over the fact that, you know, I have to live with my ex-wife's new boyfriend, we kind of just sucked it up and just became, I guess, I don't know, I'd say friends somewhat
4:29
It's the first time he said that. Tyler, has this living situation had an impact on your romantic relationship
4:39
Oh, geez. Yes, heavily has an impact. My ex Hannah is coming over today and I'm not so sure how she felt about the living situation
4:56
I am the ex-ish, if you want to call it that. Not girlfriend
5:02
It was a situation. We're like homies. Oh, shut up. A little bit deeper than homie
5:10
Well, before this gets less awkward. Hannah, how did you feel when Tyler told you about this living situation
5:22
I thought it was a little weird, to be honest. Who would want to live with someone that they were married to
5:29
Like, obviously, it didn't work for a reason. So, like, why are you all putting yourself in a situation to where, like, things could come up again
5:38
I'm pretty sure he actually texted me. Tyler! I was like, yeah, she's probably gonna leave after I tell her this, so
5:46
Was that your intentions? Were you just trying to get me to leave faster It wasn you it was me It didn really have that much of an impact on our relationship because it didn really progress further afterwards When he first told her
6:02
things were definitely real rocky. Wasn't sure if she was gonna be the type of girlfriend that was
6:09
gonna be like, no, you can't, you know, you can't do that. But it turns out, yeah, we went to lunch
6:16
to talk about everything. I was vetting her for myself because I was like
6:22
if this goes anywhere, this person is going to be eventually in the co-parenting pool
6:28
of me, Tyler, and Michael. I definitely started on Rocky, but it was a happy ending
6:33
because now I got a whole friend out of it. I think he is a great guy
6:37
and he's going to make some girl very happy one day, but it was just not
6:42
me or Megan. I'm definitely not being his wing woman. at all. Maybe further
6:48
down the line. So next weekend? Yeah, maybe next weekend. I think that they
6:54
are all awesome parents. Their kids are very lucky to have all three of them
7:00
And I can't wait to see where life takes all of y'all
7:08
Would you recommend this living situation to others? Yes and no. Yes, if you do it
7:16
Get a bigger house and no, unless you absolutely have to. Yeah, only if you need to
7:22
I would, honestly. What do you hope the future holds for your family
7:28
Nothing but the best. Family compound. Family farm. Thank you
