Gaines said she and Barker talked about how to go to parents Margot as she grows up. Barker said it was important to show their daughter that he and Riley are on the same page and work together as a team rather than individuals.
“But for us, I’ve always wanted to set the example of what a relationship should look like. I would probably get hatred for this,” he said. “But the way I described this to Riley is that I want Margot and how many kids we have to look at us and be like, ‘Oh yes, mom and dad together, and then we’re all here we’re hanging out.’
“I want them to see that I and Riley are on a team that we are on the same side. It’s not Mother versus dad. It’s mom and dad together. We’re one. The one thing I would hate more than anything else is for Margot to run to Riley and say, ‘Hello can I do this.’ She says no and she comes to me and I say yes.

Gaines said she agreed with her husband’s approach.
“It makes sense, and I seem to give this example is an example of the children missing # 1. As if we are seeing that whether it is children who think there are no consequences,” she said. “As we see it all the time – children who lack that direction or an example in the home. And we see it in the world, in our culture or community or in school or whatever it is. And I think to be that for our children I think is really important.”
Barker made it clear that there would be no “generation trauma” in their household.
“And then I feel like it is important to have an example of what a loving relationship looks like. And safe, we cling to things? Absolutely,” he added. “One thing I got big on when we got married is that no matter how annoyed we are with each other, no matter what happened, we won’t be the couple sleeping in separate spaces. There are so many parents doing it now and the kids think it’s normal and it’s not a healthy relationship.”
