    Re: Following our ex's...................

    I separated when my kids were 10 and 5 , we made sure the kids were happy and my ex never refused me seeing them and always offered to see them.
    We both have a great relationship with our children and they are now 26 and 21.
    Our personal issues with each other stayed just that and the kids grew up in a very happy household on both sides of the family.
    I detest seeing kids used to get back at the other parent.
    Stringers statement is hurting the kids more than his ex If what she says is true.

      That's our rule too.

      A major issue is that the daughters are going to learn how to sue Google sooner rather than later and will have to read that their dad cheated on their mum while she was pregnant. The relationship will be strained when they start reading articles.

        Or the ridicule they'll get from their school mates when they find the article boasting to the world how their Mum's getting breast implants, especially with the accompanying photos including the kids themselves. I doubt these issues would be a concern for either of them however.

          And the bottom line is that's your mum or your dad and you don't want to be hearing anyone running one of your parents down, even or maybe especially, if it's the other parent.

          Use! You meant to say use! Far out that threw me out more than a misprint has for a long while. I just couldn't work it out.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            True. Neither appear to be forward-thinking types though, I'm guessing they'll learn most of their lessons the hard way.

              Do kids just adjust to the prevailing norm or is that as bad as it sounds like it is?

                I see way, way too much of this sort of behaviour and its bloody hard to bite my tongue when it happens.

                  You're a better man than I. I'd end up biting through my tongue I reckon.

                  It's easy to say that you love your kids but walking the walk isn't as simple. Having said that my ex only once got me close to being angry with her and that was more her not thinking through something than out of spite so maybe I'm lucky that I can have a civilised relationship with her? We both moved on with our personal and private lives pretty quickly after our break up. We are completely different people and we made the "opposites attract" thing work for us for a bit but when it finished there was nothing.

                    I won't say that it's rare but it's refreshing. I guess I just see people at their worst far too often.
