    Mmmm - well you really can't do 'don't do as I do, do as I tell you'
    Pleased he is concerned about how your kids feel.

    As the adut dealing with children.. yes you can!!

    Otherwise adults would not be allowed ro drive, drink, smoke, have sex, eat ice cream in bed etc.. all those perks of being an adult would be pointless.

    'tis a dilemma...FWIW I DO think it's important to set an example of appropriate behaviour because of all the unpleasant things that can go along with promiscuous behaviour. They've always been against smoking, not least because of their infantile asthma. As for eating ice cream in bed :eek: I would NEVER do that but Miss Valli does...reason being SHE likes ice cream and I don't:rotfl:

    Valli - FWIW - I think you're making the right decision and he sounds like a nice guy.

    trouble is now I'm all nervous...
    now...do I say anything to exH or leave it to the Vallikids to blab (because they will). He NEVER told me when he got a new GF and he's living with GF3. Knowing his attitude re strangers (and peedos) he will jump to conclusions (because that's his style) - but I have been expected to allow the Vallikids to spend time with the GFs while knowing VERY little about them. (I only know GF3's surname because she's a friend of DD on Facebook)

    Anyway I'll join you Juliejim. Dining room's a mess and I've an example to set. (Everywhere else is fine though;) as I am a good Flylady but that's the RoD with integral hotspots:rotfl:)

  • If you respect him, tell him in person. If you don't, let the kids blab...

    Children are not equals.. they are there to learn so we operate a policy of 'do as I say not as I do'.. obviously i do not engage in illegal activities or anything that would harm anyone else.. but quite simply children do not and cannot have the same rights and liberties as adults. They are wild creatures to be civilised.

    It is nothing to do with exKH.. so don't say anything. My KH told these OH wasn't interested in me he just wanted to abuse them!!!

    I may finish this sleeve I am knitting (8 rows) and then i shall construct a list for today..

    morning all

    we have rain!!!!

    mummyslittleboy your room looks fabulous - it will be easy to keep tidy now because you will love the way it looks - have an easy weekend and recover.
    Valli I think its excellent that OH is concerned about the childrens feelings -once DD gets used to him being there then it wont be such a huge step to him being in your bed. Hope you have a lovely weekend. ETA stuff exH - you are under no obligation to tell him anything - if the kids do then thats fine - dont let him be a part of this happy partnership - dont tell him (IMHO!!)

    Helen J thanks but its the remote control cable so will need to find an electrician - hope you feel better later:D


    catch you later

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    There have to be advantages to divorce, you don't have to tell him anything!
