Co-parenting is no mean feat, especially when you do it in front of the media. However, Scott Disick seems to have aced it. His social media is flooded with pictures of his three children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign. The posts have helped Scott to build a huge fan following...and they also speak volumes about his life as a father. Parenting seems like something that he genuinely enjoys.
Being a father to three adorable kids has also unveiled an all-new side of him that is both vulnerable and mature. In a recent interview, Kourtney Kardashian's former flame got candid about the challenges of co-parenting. He said that he and Kourtney have mastered this daunting art.
Here’s a look at the 15 things that Scott Disick revealed about parenting in a tell-all interview and on social media:
15 Taking Professional Help For A Healthy Relationship
Even though Kourtney and Scott make it look pretty easy, the latter has said that it is extremely hard. He revealed that the two have had to make a real effort to do it right. For starters, they went to therapy to come to terms with each other's dating lives. They had a hard time learning to differentiate between friendship and romantic involvement.
14 Traveling Together With Children
The former couple is known to vacation together often. According to Scott, they love traveling as a family and acting mature while co-parenting their kids. Surprisingly, Kourtney also revealed that Scott never misses an opportunity to ask her along on his holidays. These getaways also feature his current girlfriend, Sofia Richie.
13 Setting Up New Rules
Unsurprisingly, Scott said that co-parenting is way harder when he and his ex are physically apart. However, they make the process easier by sticking to rules that fit both households. A general sense of openness and acceptance in both the houses keeps the family ticking along, with everyone on the same page.
12 Disagreement Is Natural
Though the family of five follows a rule book that keeps them bonded, Scott Disick confessed that some of the rules introduced by his ex-wife annoy him at times. Describing himself as ‘sensitive’, he said that there are times he feels ‘put down’ by the mother of his children.
11 Being A Young Dad
Given how much of a party-goer he is (or was), Scott Disick’s revelation about not expecting to be a dad at such a young age is hardly surprising. He said that he had never thought that he would become a father so early on in his life. He found it rather difficult at first, but now, he doesn’t shy away from calling it a “blessing.”
10 From New Parent To Cool Parent
Scott Disick admitted that it took time for him to learn to be a father, but now that he has, he feels happy that he gets to be a “cool dad.” He added that he feels “pretty confident” about playing the role of a father now. He knows he has become much better at it.
9 Doing The Daddy Stuff
The young daddy said that he could never imagine himself doing all the things that fathers do, but now that he is doing them, he has begun to like them. Simple things like driving his kids to school have enabled him to become a truly hands-on dad, and he is proud to be one!
8 Real Love, At Last!
It isn’t hard to figure out that Scott Disick has found real love with his kids - his social media accounts are a testimony to this fact. In a telling post, the doting father wore his heart on his sleeve as he wrote, “I post a lot of pics of my kids. I guess I found my real love and passion.”
7 Kids First
Fame, popularity, publicity- everything else takes a backseat to the kids. These famous parents make their children their top priority. They care more about their kids than themselves. This lets them keep all the drama away from their family life - isn't this endearing and impressive?
6 Mommy Is Equally Important
A mother is the nerve center of any family, and Scott recognizes this. He affirmed this by saying that he never wants his former wife to miss out on any precious time that she may be able to have with her kids. Kourtney was happy to hear this - she congratulated Scott on being a good father.
5 The Three Principles
Scott Disick shared some words of wisdom with parents and fans. Shelling out some daddy goals, he advised that communication, mutual respect, and sympathy for your baby daddy or baby mama are essential. Sympathy, he explained, is significant because both parents have challenges to face.
4 Great To Be Grateful
Scott sounded wise and content as he said that he was grateful for his life. He said he was thankful for being able to nurture a healthy relationship with his ex, and he thanked Kourtney for being an ‘amazing mom.’ In an emotional moment, he said that he wakes up every day and says 'thank you' to God, as well as Kourtney Kardashian.
3 A Good Father
Kourtney Kardashian heaped praise upon the young daddy, proving that Scott Disick is a great father. “You didn’t appreciate what you had, and then I think you were also depressed, and other things were going on. You’ve come a long way,” she congratulated her former partner.
2 Co-Parenting Is Hard
While learning to be on the same page, despite sharing a tumultuous past, parents must go through tough times. They do it for the sake of their children. It's no different with Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick. Scott made this clear in the interview when he said that, ‘Co-parenting is a hard thing.’ He seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed by it.
1 It’s All Worth The Effort
After he shed light on the challenges and all the juggling that Kourtney and Scott have to do to keep their kids happy, Scott said the effort invested in it all is worth it at the end of the day. “You can easily live less of life without working as hard, and that’s up to you,” he said, which is food for thought for other parents.
