Two Black millennials, can raise a child without the “Baby Daddy, Baby Mama DRAMA”.

Contrary to society’s perception, two Black millennials, can raise a child without the “Baby Daddy, Baby Mama DRAMA”. Yes, I had a child out of wedlock.  But that’s not unusual, according to “Bloomberg.com,” over forty percent of parents are having babies unmarried. The gag is how to coincide. The father of my child, Charleston and I get a lot of compliments on how well we have raised our seven year old.  Now, don’t get me wrong, our parenting skills have not always been A-1. We have had our fair share of mishaps, disappointments and tears. The day Charleston and I made a vow to be friends we became healthier parents.”Why become friends”? Why not? When you think about your healthy friendships what are the essential elements: Communication, Understanding, Appreciation and Selflessness. Let’s be honest, parenting should have those same essential elements.

Charleston and I have found internal balance with our emotions to be successful co-parents.
