A Blended Family Making it Work

[@snowykaze]

Props to the guy with the long beard. He really kinda was in the middle of all the decisions but he's chill with it. They seem like they all love each other too, and you know what, that's respect right there. However I understand why people think they're insane. But with the whole story, and understanding how they feel, I understand. Also rip that guys brother. Edit: First comment.

[@christopheronwukwe2812]

These are amazing people doing amazing thing! As long as they are happy and respect each other it doesn't matter if society give 101 reason they shouldn't live together under one roof. I wish life is this simple kudos to the new husband

[@keykeyrena1724]

It’s works for them so stop judging cause they doing it for the children

[@Nyte101]

KeyKey Rena No No No😂

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

Agreed. I just don’t think this is a bizarre as everyone is making it out to be. They all get along, seems like the kids are thriving. I bet if you asked children of divorce they would like this better than two divorced parents who live apart and can’t be in the same room which seems to be the socially acceptable norm.

[@zaiah9252]

Yeah people were kinda judging before they got the story

[@toluadeyemi9049]

This isn't a blended family. It's 2 families sharing a house.

[@Quick--]

This house must be huge!

[@Mrslorri1]

Lol!! It would have to be.

[@elenarotestan5823]

Hey!! this is brilliant, it works for them, kids are happy, adults supporting each other. Real grownups. 🤘

[@ladynottingham89]

I don't judge them with today's economy the way it is. If they all get along and the financial strain is alleviated on them I don't see the problem. Good for them and I hope they continue to make things work for their family.

[@searenatreasure3082]

Not everyone end on bad terms so if it works, it works.

[@marcochavanne]

Some people don't surrender control after the relationship ends. Whether it's controlling when one parent can see the kids or emotional control by always making passive aggressive comments to file up their ex partner. For people that are acclimated to dysfunctional and possessive relationships this household is a completely foreign concept.

[@zaiah9252]

I agree. People are judging before getting the story. Let’s listen to the full story before we start giving out takes

[@loqman22]

Now Brandi's ex needs to join them "for the children" 's sake . lol

[@beautykinks6755]

And i cant even get a text back...

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

Lol

[@hamsx2067]

Yeah it's best family dynamic Thanks for putting the future of these kids on top By such people this world will be better

[@sandisimmonds6671]

I love this! All about the kids.

[@vincentcheatham1844]

This wouldn't work in a black household. Too much baby mama drama

[@holdupnow2326]

All black people are not the same.

[@kylahrandall3017]

Hell yeah I might be alil petty 😂😂😂

[@dmoney9285]

Vincent Cheatham ... It’s kinda funny that you say that because in a lot of traditional African cultures and communities particularly in west Africa and east Africa a man would have multiple wives and children from all of them all living together with him, people need to think before they make everything a race thing

[@kgoldmon]

And honestly, this isn't about polygamy, sister-wives, what-have-you, it's simply communal living--something our community, and especially our children, could benefit from, if the adults involved could be mature and map out a vision. Imagine if two well-intended couples w/ children purchased a large home in a great community w/ an excellent school system, split the expenses down the middle. Now you've got two families providing a quality education, a decent quality of life, and while simultaneously saving aggressively for college and retirement, without the struggle.

[@suadpolashek6400]

@Vincent Cheatham - So you're saying that black people are less understanding or less tolerant of helping people in this kind of situations? Just asking coz people are just people no matter what color they are and every person in this world needs help from time to time! Period

[@mugsev]

Reminds me of how we complicate our lives for nothing with perception barriers. Someone is someone's ex. #respect

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

Emmanuel Mugabi and some people know how to be real grownups from this video. Many people cant even deal with the face that their current spouses have exes at all to begin with. It looks like they have it figured out...and the kids are happy.

[@iamthatiam3652]

Umenena

[@kimrock3472]

This only works if their morals maturity and respect is there. Personally no matter how well we get on separate household is my preference.

[@darkstrangernone1995]

I like this. Me and my girlfriends thought about this. Seeing two healthy couples raise children together and having all of that support there the children will always have someone to go to.

[@lady4real75]

That picture shows it all WORKS!

[@AZ-uc2oi]

Give‘em a TV show!

[@MrMAHIRWE]

Big salute to all y’all

[@andrewnehemiah3467]

Love the WAY they LOVE!💖💖💖

[@faroukabouelsaoud828]

When did this turn Jerry springer show? 😂😂

[@jessicadelgado390]

Hispanics and Latinos do this all the time. And honest it seems to work as far as the mental and emotional health of the children and isn't that what matters most?

[@Justcallme_sum]

Your right!100%

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

Jessica Delgado exactly. And that's what many of the commenters here don't understand.

[@DED_Search]

I am glad it works for them. I can barely tolerate my husband, let alone other people and their kids.

[@cassielynnarviso2318]

Hey if they get along fine yay!!! That is great! More support system for the kids!

[@karabomotsomi84]

This is definitely the most AMAZING thing I've ever come across in my life. it is so INSPIRATIONAL and i hope that people will a lot from this family. I'm speechless but WOW!!! Big ups to Ben and his whole family.

[@lebomagano3522]

Simon Motsomi that’s incredible cause you can see that there is genuine love that comes through.

[@TennesseeElite]

Simon Motsomi thank you so much ❤️

[@andrewestes2600]

I be honest after, at the beginning of the video I was like oh hell no. After watching this to the end I realize that you got to do what’s good for you and the kids happiness that’s key so I see nothing wrong with this!

[@OreoTime1]

Excellent for them! I don't know if this would work for me, but it does work for them and it's good to learn about possibilities as these. "Live and learn." My respects to them and God bless them all. Thank you for the share, Steve. Cheers!

[@smellycat00]

This work because they respect each other.

[@t.ajoshua3671]

They should be on family feud

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

I just don’t think this is as bizarre as people make it out to be. They all get along, and it seems like the kids are thriving. I bet if you asked children of divorce they would like this better than two divorced parents who live apart and can’t be in the same room which seems to be the socially acceptable “norm”.

[@kevilavonga415]

I'm sipping whisky to understand all this

[@feleciakinmon5498]

THEY ARE HAPPY CONTENT, THE KIDS ARE CONTENT, DOING GOOD, HAVING MORE THAN ONE ADULT TOO COMMUNICATE, LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT,STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnalove4747]

your not crazy yall the best mature people doing mature things if kids was most important in others life they can do it too i wish i had money i send yall on family vacation its nothing to judge but to be admired i love yall already

[@lildel7698]

[@elizabethjackson2068]

I think this is amazing!!

[@bearbriganti5203]

Elizabeth Jackson of course you would, you white

[@flowers379_]

If the house is huge with more than 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it's really not that bad! My only concern is privacy and space when I need it. I personally love a bigger family and extended family and in laws with huge dinning room table where we share stories, catch up and have fun! But I'll need my own bedroom and a little private living-room space and a bathroom for my own little family in the big family.....

[@munasharif9446]

@@munasharif9446 , ???

[@mirandaolivas5696]

This is neat seems to work for them and in all reality their concern are the kids...... Whats crazy is this is more common then anyone thinks just not everyone knows about it just for that reason so many judgemental ppl trying to shime in.... I say if it works round of applause to them and keeping doing you guys!!

[@JuanitaMichelle]

When they said the ex husband's girlfriend also lives there, it actually made more sense to me. Each party has their own spouse, so there's less of a reason to feel insecure. I just don't get why all these grown people want to share space. How big is this house?

[@barbarawitt4038]

The oldest daughter was my bestfriend in 2nd grade

[@iambhml2646]

I'm just speechless 🤦🤦🤦

[@butyoucancallmesam]

This some sister wives/girlfriend stuff.

[@SwishMajor]

who cares, it works for them. the kids are happy, they are happy, and what we think doesn't matter

[@richardsmith732]

And that's a good thing!!!

[@paschalokafor7108]

I see matured people here.

[@titandalathepodcast8728]

Am sure black people be watching this and be tightening up a little bit because, ain't no way in hell this gone work with black families,Period. Some white people staff right here.

Hi Steve I was shot when i went to canada to live with my dad he was living with his wife 4 kids her ex husband and their 4 kid now they all split up.

[@brandonmcmillan9641]

You watch a lot of porn huh lol

[@Ray-uv4sk]

They better be paying rent..

[@michaelx697]

Untraditional, but if it works for them then I don't see a problem, I would say they're just 2 fams under 1 roof.

[@Jane-gv3cn]

Ben/Bin (whatever they kept sayin), and the new girlfriend are so fine with it because they messin around with eachother🤔

To be fair, to be fair he might be cheating on his wife, which is why he is cool with it.

[@princesstroublez2276]

That is a rough one but amazing, black people especially here in Caribbean that will never work. They gonna fight like cats and dogs and you will hear where the ****** he going not in here lmao. As the lady said trust & communication works. Ben got a lot of balls. But if it works for them, don't judge by there actions. As we say don't throw stones especially when you live in a glass house. Mind your ******* business when you see we, leave we alone.

No way on God's green earth that this would be my house!! We broke up, uh-uh!!

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

Beleive it or not, this is only strange in the "West" because people aren't close generally. Yes i said West because of culture. Also, any real group of grownups can do his any time anywhere. And the kids are close.

Clearly, they have a type...lol.

Everybody has a type there's no need for "clearly"
