Chapter 3: Why is Javi stationed in Delaware?
Yep.
And that's how we ended up here in Delaware. And you don't want to get out.
I do not.
It's going to be a full career. Yeah, I've worked too hard.
And I got eight years left until my retirement. So I think I've made it far enough where I kind of have to ride it out.
Yeah, no, for sure. And I understand that. But there are people who think that you don't work.
Yeah, there's people that don't even know I'm still in the military.
Do you react to comments like that, or do you just kind of let it roll off?
No, I don't care.

Chapter 4: What was the turning point for Kail and Javi's co-parenting?
But you've worked pretty much every job you possibly can in Delaware. So now, what did they do? They came to you and they were like, it's time for you to go? Or how does that, what does that look like?
Yeah, they would have. They would have said, hey, it's time, if you want to stay in this, so I'm recruiting now. So if you want to stay in recruiting, stay in this job. You need to grow and you can't do the same. Basically, we're all capped out. So once you're in this job, you're capped out at three years. That's when I started in Dover. I was like, okay, well, can I take the Newark spot?
Newark, Delaware, for those of you who don't know. They gave me Newark and now I'm capped out here. So there's no other place, no other job I can kind of jump to.
So even if a recruiter does a good job in the area they're at, they still have to move? Yes. Why?
Because if you're doing a good job in this area, they want to see you grow. Okay, well, go do it over here.
Okay. So what was actually got, we talked, I think last year at this point, or I guess it would have been the year before. I don't really remember. And we talked and you were like, Hey, like I, I think it's about to be that time where we're going to have to move.
And I had said that depending on where you went, that I would attempt to try to go as well because I couldn't picture, um, a life for Lincoln. any other way than 50, 50. So at that time, I didn't know if I thought it was real or if it was like, Oh, you guys have decided that you want to move. I didn't really know what that looked like. And then you and I didn't talk about it again for a long time.
So I just sort of put it in the back of my mind and never thought about it again. Um, so fast forward to, you know, you, you have two more kids, you're with Lauren and 2024. I mean, for people who have watched Teen Mom, they know that the dynamics between myself and Javi and myself and Lauren and Javi have been a little rocky, I would say.
And, you know, fast forward to 2024, we go to Spain for the kids to play soccer. And I felt like that was a little bit of a turning point for the relationship as parents. Would you agree with that?

Chapter 5: How did Kail and Javi resolve their differences in Spain?
forced to spend more time than we either one of us thought we were going to i mean i didn't think you know you and your hotel situation ended up being the way it did and then you ended up in the same hotel so we were kind of stuck in the same place so we were gonna you know make the best of it for the kids sake i mean we traveled 10 hours to madrid we're not gonna make it crap yeah i mean i think that was the first time that
Lauren and I were able to be in the same place at the same time and have a conversation and be there for the kids without any outside opinions, conversations, anything like that. And then you got to spend time maybe unintentionally with Elijah, which actually worked out. I feel like to benefit the kids, I got really sick.
I had strep throat and you, Lauren and Elijah took the kids outside to go play soccer. And I saw y'all from my hotel room. Like I looked down at the field and you guys were all playing. And I thought that was really cool because, I guess I just never, I didn't know what to expect for Spain in general. And then I also didn't know what to expect with everyone in such close proximity.
So I think it really ended up being pretty cool. Right? Like you and Elijah got along.
Yeah, for sure. I mean, we definitely got along. I mean, hey, let's make the best of this and let's figure this out. And it worked in Madrid. It worked in Madrid.
I think you spent more time with Elijah than I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How do you feel now? Good. I mean, Lincoln's with you guys half the time, so it was nice to spend some quality time and see who this man is around Lincoln.
And how did you feel about Lorne and I getting along in Spain?
It was nice. I mean, it was... It was fine. I mean, like I said, I'm glad everyone was able to... Put all the difference. There's a lot of, there was a lot throughout the years that everyone went through. So it was, I mean, for that trip, it was good that we were all able to just put it behind us and, hey, we're here. Let's cheer on the kids. Let's all go figure this out.

Chapter 6: Why is Javi moving from Delaware?
You know, those like crazy 3 a.m. your mind is racing kind of questions. Aside from Spain and the Wawa conversation. Right. And feeling mixed emotions. Right. How do you think that we have done both you and me, but then also Lauren and Elijah have done collectively as co-parents for the last year or two?
Yeah, co-parent specifically, I think it's been great. I mean, I think it's, I think Madrid, I think it was important, actually, I think it was important you saw the way Lauren was with just the kids in general and then vice versa. It was important for me to see how Elijah was. I mean, I'd never heard him say more than two words prior to Madrid.
So to be in Madrid, no offense, but he's just a quiet guy. So when we're in Madrid and being able to play soccer, I didn't even know he knew how to play sports. Not that he's not athletic, but it was cool to be in that environment where I know Lincoln is okay on the other side. Because it was always, hey, I have to trust whoever you bring into his life that you're making the right decision.
And same thing for me. So to be able to see that firsthand, I think that's where... it was good for everybody to see everyone interacting with other kids. So I think co-parenting-wise is fine. If I need something for Lincoln, hit you up or hit Elijah, and Elijah will bring it, and there's no awkwardness, I don't think. There's no... And vice versa, I don't think you've needed anything from Lauren.
But I'm sure if you did, I don't know, but I'm sure if you did, I'm sure it would be fine.
Yeah, I mean, it felt good knowing that I didn't have anything to worry about. And not that I really ever did. I think it was always like we were really young when you and I were married and divorced. We were very young. And I think that we you and I don't get a lot, a lot of grace for that. Like, I think that people still want to hold our past against us.
And, you know, people want to remember us how we used to be and not now. And I think that you know, seeing it all firsthand, you and Lauren together with the kids and, you know, you guys have welcomed Lux in, you know, to go to the amusement park and stuff or stay at the amusement park.
It was really nice for me because at one point you texted in a group chat and was like, Oh God, what I say, what are you about to say? No, it was with Elijah.
Okay.

Chapter 7: How does Nurture Life make mealtime easier for parents?
Yeah.
And basically what happens was we already kind of touched on it. My time was coming up. So it was like, okay, well, where can I go? What are my options? Um, so Virginia came up and, um, After talking about it with Lauren, we felt like that was probably best case scenario. They didn't know what was going to happen with Lincoln. We thought worst case scenario were at least driving distance.
We don't have to jump on a plane or anything like that. So it was, hey, take Virginia or when your time does come up, when your three year mark hits, you're going to get whatever is whatever is on the table.
So it could have been like Minot, North Dakota.
Yeah, it could have been California, whatever was on the table at that time. So I wouldn't have I would have to pick out of whatever is on there.
Knowing that there could be an even closer base at that time. Like you picked Virginia, but like you didn't want to risk whether it was a closer one or one that's even further away. Right. Like if say when you're when you're three years came up, you could have been like, well, you're going to be closer because.
So how it works is positions come out every month. So you see who's applying. You see who gets those positions. So the Maryland and New Jersey's just got there. So I knew they had three years there at least at a minimum before those positions would open up again. So I was like, okay, well, that's taking me off the board for those. So what's left? And then it was like, well, Virginia's coming up.
And I was like, okay, well, that's the next closest. That's probably the best case scenario. So I didn't want to take that risk of waiting to the end of either deciding, hey, we're moving to wherever or I got to get out. And I don't think getting out was an option for me.
Was this decision... influenced at all by creating more distance between you and me or Elijah and myself and you and Lauren?
