The Co-Parenting Team Matters: Undrenia Burnside on Father Support, Grandmotherhood, and Dad & Co.
In this episode of I Am Dad Podcast, Dr. Matisa Wilbon speaks with Undrenia Burnside, a grandmother, mother, and one of the first "and-co" participants connected to Fathers Incorporated’s Dad & Co. co-parenting team model. Dad & Co. centers fathers while also recognizing that fathers do not raise children in isolation. Children are shaped by a larger village that may include mothers, grandmothers, aunties, coaches, clergy, and other caring adults. In this conversation, Ms. Burnside speaks from the important perspective of a grandmother who loves her son, loves her granddaughter, and chose to participate in the program to better support both. Ms. Burnside shares how her son, Tomar, invited her to join the program as he worked to strengthen his relationship with his daughter, Amira, and her mother. She reflects honestly on what it meant to recognize that her love, concern, and involvement sometimes showed up as over-involvement. Through the program, she began to better understand how to support her son without undermining him as a father.
