Despite the parents not being together anymore, they still put their son Pierson first and make a perfect parenting team together.

I know it seems like we shouldn't be praising the obvious, but truth of the matter is that far too often divorsed couples let their own personal differences cloud what's important, i.e. their children's happiness. This actually sets a great example on both sides. Let's not forget that fathers are often put in an unfavourable position in these situations. Kudos to them! Also, I think it's incredibly condescending to suggest he has some sort of ulterior motive for doing this. Their relationship status and their reasons for it are nobody's business but theirs.

Wow, a lot of negativity here. They're good friends and successful co-parents. All power to them!

Probably having sex with mommy, when her ex does everything for her and their son

Very touching. Odd that she says MY son while he says OUR son but I'm sure that was just a misuse of the word MY by her.

It's great that the guy is still there for his son and that couples can still be friends after breaking up but something kinda feels off about this. Why does he pay her groceries or buy gifts for the kid and put her name on it? Why is he fixing stuff around her house and checking craigslist with her? (why does it seem like her new bf isn't doing anything?) I mean, great if they're still friends but this feels like he's still madly in love with her while she is just taking advantage of it. If he's so great, why did they break up in the first place?

He's feeding HIS child and making sure that his mother gets credit for buying their son gifts. She obviously doesn't have a lot of money, and cannot afford to pay tradesmen for fixing things. This is called "acting like a grownup". Why so eager to make this ugly, or are you just bitter that no one would ever do this for you.

I agree with a fair few of these comments - if he does so much for her, clearly they're in very good standing, so 1. Why is he her ex? and 2. Why doesn't her CURRENT boyfriend do more of these things? I know, the can just be friends now, but it still brings up why they broke up in the first place.

Love Clare Spicer's comment. That was my first thought when I read this. But then, they are both appreciative of each other and it is a good thing if it motivates them to do better.

Rarely do good father's get recognition, for doing what they're supposed to do when it comes to their children. Acknowledging someone for anything possitive, is always a wonderful and thoughtful act of appreciation! The more I read comments, the more I see how much ppl choose to say something negative, when someone is doing something nice! Didn't our mother's teach us "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". I enjoyed this story and I kept wondering how other parents could do the same.

I have to say, this couple is super lucky for their divorced situation to end up like this. I sure know a lot of stories about a child going into court every weekend to fight for their right to stay with the parent they prefer, that boy is incredibly lucky he doesn't have to do that (yes, he's young but it could still happen in a different circumstance). I kind of know why this went viral. It's because mom and dad cared so much for their little boy that they put their own problems aside to raise their son together, even if they don't get along like husband and wife anymore. Enough said, you all have our own opinions and this is mine, personally.
