She's just 3 mate. She's got the attention span of a goldfish, she wouldnt be able to process it and all you'd do is upset her for half an hour or so. She wouldnt even comprehend what a holiday is; every day is a holiday when you're 3. Yes, honesty is the best policy, but you need the intelligence and wit to understand its meaning in any situation, and 3 year olds don't have that yet.
Agree that it's good being honest to your kids, just that at her young age it'll upset her. When I have to drop her home she's always asking me why? & if she can stay.. So I think it'll do more harm then good telling her mate. It'll even out when she's older because she'll come stay with her dad anytime she wants & I doubt she'll listen to her mum.
It is utter madness..What on earth was this judge thinking of? What it will do is open a can of worms meaning more money for the lawyers etc.. Makes you wonder that this may have been done for that very reason..
Agree with SAFC83 here. My ex was and is a right bitch. She used the kids as pawns. I refused to be drawn in and it hurt. But the kids, now 18 and 15 know and appreciate what went on and who is the bigger person
I dont know how i would handle it tbh, i'd maybe get her (daughter) to suggest disneyland paris when it comes on the telly, i'm thinking of what my girls are like when they get an idea in there heads but all kids are different i suppose Tough one
Just talking from years of dealing with a ****ing awkward ex, mate! You have to look at the longer, bigger picture. I agree, it's not easy to do that at the time though.
My best mate got caught with hand in the biscuit tin, first thing she did was take his kids away and wouldnt let him see them, basically used them as a weapon to hurt him, they got back together after about 6 months, we used to be at each others houses all the time, godparents to each others children, rarely see them now
Good news fellas! I've got my daughter for a week of my holidays coming up! Her mother contacted me tonight asking if she could have her on Saturday (my wknd) for her friends bday party.. My daughter and I had planned to go to Movieworld so I let her know that obviously it's been in the pipeline for ages & also how my limited time with her is precious to us.. I explained how I was reluctant about letting her go especially as we can't even spend a week together.. She agreed that we can have the week together and I told her she can come see her during midweek to see how she's going. Can't wait for our first holidays together!
