How Tarek and Heather El Moussa Navigate Coparenting with Christina Haack

Transcript

00:00Oh, very, very simple.

00:02They need to remember this isn't about them.

00:04It's about the kids.

00:05And if all these adults could start acting like adults and stop acting like children,

00:09they could take better care of their children.

00:10Yeah.

00:11I think the things that we, you know, we were all children one day and we take from when

00:15we were children into our adulthood.

00:17And I think that adults need to remember that, that children are very impressionable.

00:21They're sensitive.

00:22They're innocent.

00:23And, you know, you need to create peace in their lives for their health and happiness.

00:29And I think that that's what we all like really want for the kids is just a happy environment

00:34for them to be for them to be happy and be children.

00:36Yeah.

00:37I mean, I've always been proud because even through like even in the heyday, back in 2016-17,

00:43never involved the kids.

00:44And it was really important.

00:45I've always been proud of them, too.

00:47Like I came into in 2019 and they were working together still and they didn't have the strongest

00:54relationship then.

00:56And there were some issues, but no matter what, in front of the kids, they were nice

00:59to each other.

01:00They communicated for the kids.

01:02And I always thought that was so amazing that they did that.

01:05I think I have a very quick bounce back.

01:07Like I can be upset and I can wake up the next morning and I don't care.

01:11I think a lot of people hold grudges for a very long time over things that are so insignificant.

01:16Right.

01:17And so if you're going to hold a grudge with an ex, I, the poor kids, that's so not fair

01:21for them.

01:22Right.

01:23So when I split up with Tarek, I asked some friends whose parents got divorced, like,

01:26what did your parents do right and wrong?

01:28And they said the ones that complained about the other parent or, you know, talk or were

01:33negative.

01:34They did not like that.

01:36And that's not me in general, but I was just so careful with that to never do those things

01:41in front of the kids.

01:42And I think that's really gone a long way.

01:44So that would be my best advice is don't hold a grudge, just rebuild, communicate, try to

01:49focus on the children.
