 According to the mothers of his children, ex-wife Antonia Carter, Lauren London and Nivea get along well and focus on doing so for the happiness of their children with famed rapper Lil Wayne.
"At this point it's not about none of us," Toya said in an interview. "It's about the kids and I would go beyond for my daughter just to put a smile on her face. I would do whatever to have her around her brothers and just be cool and cordial. That's what people don't get... I been knowing Nivea for a long time and Lauren's been around for a long time. We just never really talked like that until [her] baby was born... It's not like I want Wayne. Some of us are really over him. We just put that to the side. We having time with the kids with their daddy. The whole situation isn't ideal so we just gotta make the best of it. 'Oh I don't like having my kids around her?' Nah. He just lucked up to have baby mothers that are just not on no real ignorant stuff." (VIBE)"
We at hiphoptruth.com hope that more men and women in our community will also focus on what the kids need, things like a great relationship with both parents and a real relationship with their brothers and sisters. Next time someone gets heated at their "baby daddy", "baby mama", or his other "baby mama" just pause or walk away or write down your feelings about what the kids really need out of the situation and give it to the other person - try to be honest and try not to focus on hate. Focus on suggesting solutions toward what the kids need and try to keep your emotions out of it. If you are really heated then it may be best to address the matter, whatever it is at a later time after you cool down.
Remember - the kids will usually be charged to see both parents and their brothers and sisters at the same time. Kids often get scared or very sad when adults that they love argue (even if they don't show it). And there are a lot of things that everyone can do together:
- Barbecue
- Watch a movie
- Birthday parties
- Go to church
- Go to the mall
- Play games - video, board, cards, outside
- Let all the kids go to the same Vacation Bible School (also usually free break for parents - holla!)
Apparently Lil Wayne, Nivea, Toya, and Lauren have something that seems to work for them and their kids, when Nivea's healthy son was born Toya and Lauren wished Nivea well with congrats on Twitter.
"We talk," she said in an interview. "We have a great relationship. He's a great father. He tells [our daughter] about [his other kids], so I just go along with the flow. I'm good with all of [his children's mothers]. I try to keep the kids cool because they're all in the same situation, so we don't have time for any drama." (E! Online)"
Apparently before "going away" Lil Wayne talked to he and Toya's daughter everyday after school so much that his daughter will miss it while he is gone so now they have a call arrangement worked out. Fellas if you want Lil Wayne's swagger and bling, we hope you will want his strong daddy relationship with your kids too. Talking to your kids everyday, knowing what they are learning, and listening to is important - teaching and protecting your kids is very cool, so like Nike, just do it! |
