My boyfriend asked my ex-husband to move in with us

The busy mom married Tyler in 2020 and the duo share two-year-old daughter Ryann.

However, their marriage failed and the couple split in 2023, before Megan met Michael.

Megan and Michael now share a six-week-old son named Juniper, and all five of them live under one roof.

Michael was the first to suggest that the group all live together, as money was tight for all of them and having divorced parents affected Ryann.

Ryann sometimes gets confused and calls Michael “Tyler” or “Dad,” but her parents immediately correct her.

However, since Tyler moved into the house, Ryann has become much happier and calmer, as she is happy to have her father around.

“I get closer to my daughter every day,” Tyler said Real.

Tyler said he sees his ex-wife and her new boyfriends as “roommates,” but said he had to swallow a lot proud to move into their house.

“There had to be a lot of healing and a lot of personal growth to even consider something like this,” Megan said.

The mother has shared details of her unusual family dynamics online and faced backlash from trolls.

People have claimed that they confuse the children and are “terrible parents”.

Many people also assume the trio is in trouble, which Megan says is understandable.

“People think we’re ruining Ryann’s life by confusing her,” she said.

“But that’s not the case. She completely understands that mommy and daddy aren’t together.”

“One of my friends told me I sold my soul for this,” Tyler added.

Different parenting styles explained

There are four recognized parenting styles explained below:

Authoritarian parenting

What some might describe as “regimental” or “strict parenting.”

Parents with this style focus on strict rules, obedience, and discipline.

Authoritarian parents take over decision-making power and rarely give children any input in the matter.

When it comes to rules, you believe it’s “my way or the highway.”

Permissive parenting

Often referred to as ‘gentle parenting’ or ‘yes mothers/fathers’.

Permissive parents are lenient and only intervene when there is a serious problem.

They are quite forgiving and adopt a ‘kids will be kids’ attitude.

They often act more like friends than like authority figures.

Authoritative parenting

Authoritative parents give their children rules and boundaries, but also give them the freedom to make decisions.

With an authoritative parenting style, parents validate their children’s feelings while making it clear that adults are ultimately in charge.

They use positive reinforcement techniques, such as praise and reward systems, as opposed to severe punishment.

Negligent or uninvolved parenting

Essentially, neglectful parents neglect their children, who receive little guidance, care, and parental attention.

They set no rules or expectations and usually have minimal knowledge about what their children are doing.

Uninvolved parents expect children to raise themselves. They do not spend much time and energy on meeting the basic needs of children.

Uninvolved parents can be negligent, but this is not always intentional. For example, a parent with mental health or substance abuse issues may not be able to consistently care for a child’s physical or emotional needs.

Michael and Tyler didn’t get along at all at first, and it took a very long time for them to even be in the same room.

However, Tyler eventually sucked it up and the pair are almost friends now.

While the unconventional living situation is beneficial for parenthood, Tyler admitted that it has affected his dating life.

“Who would want to live with someone they used to be married to?”, his ex Hannah wondered?
