JAVAREE TALKS 

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible love and effort mothers pour into their families, but it’s also a moment for us, as dads, to reflect on how we show up alongside them.

Whether you’re married, co-parenting from separate homes, or navigating a more complex dynamic, one thing holds true, and that’s parenting works best when we approach it as a team or in partnership

Being an intentional partner might look like:

• Noticing the invisible load and stepping in before being asked.

• Taking initiative with routines, logistics, or emotional support.

• Asking, “What would feel helpful right now?”

• Recognizing and affirming the effort your co-parent is putting in.

When we show up this way, not just on holidays but consistently, we honor more than just a day. We’re celebrating a partnership. We’re modeling respect. And we’re strengthening our connection with our kids by demonstrating what shared care looks like, which leads to a more harmonious family dynamic.

So, for this Mother’s Day and beyond, yes, express gratitude. But also ask yourself, How can I keep showing up in a way that lightens the load and builds the bond?

Because when we parent like teammates, across homes or under one roof, everyone wins. Especially the kids!
