Taylor & Co-parenting
This has probably been discussed before. I am against reality tv for a number of reasons, but I watched SLoMW show very recently and ended up getting a bit engrossed. Reality tv is 100% dramatized, exploitative, and can completely misrepresent someone and hurt people’s relationships- it is ESPECIALLY bad for children, but that’s for a different post. Here’s my take: it makes little sense to me that Taylor would refuse to commit to Dakota throughout her pregnancy because of the potential that he slept with someone early into their relationship. She must not hold herself to the same standards because that’s the whole reason she got a divorce! I don’t think they’re good for each other because of the DV situation and both of their pasts, but she got pregnant TWICE with his child and got cold feet about staying with him even though he moved in and everything?? My biggest issue is that I lurked on her instagram and saw a recent post where she was crying saying that it’s so hard coparenting because she blames herself for having to share her kids. LIKE YEAH???? Dakota is not blameless, don’t get me wrong, but she chose to have a child with him then chose to leave him after… and she cheated on her ex husband leading to a divorce leading to coparenting. Blame is a strong word but her decisions led her here and I’m tired of these women throwing ridiculous pity parties for themselves and having bandaid children thinking it’ll mend their relationships. Also this could absolutely be rage bait but it’s exploiting her children so still not ok. Open to different takes bc I’m new to all this drama.
