Ex wife lied to where she has taken kids abroad. Where do i stand?

Dunroamin

I used to phone my mum weekly, it would have cost a fortune to ring her everyday. Much as we loved each other, there wouldn't have been anything to say every day.

Fair enough, looks like I'm in a minority! I think she'd worry about me if I started phoning every day.

No, I don't speak to my parents every day, or even weekly sometimes. My husband doesn't either. We're both very close to our parents and see them regularly, go for days out and holidays together, etc. but we just aren't into daily phone calls.

It's different when they are in single figures though. My youngest is 7, and I would want to speak to him every day if he wasn't with me. Eldest has been away without me, and we didn't speak every day, but he was older than 7.

It depends how often OP speaks to his children when they are not on holiday, I suppose?

But to say that he's "going to give her a good talking to" is unbelievably controlling! Who the hell does he think he is?

Nobody in my life would ever get away with "giving me a good talking to" especially an ex.

Hang on. His ex-wife has lied to him about the kids and the fella aint allowed to be annoyed.

Just a thought. I wonder whether one of you's confused between Disney Land and Disney World?

Neither of which are in LV.

My mum would certainly have asked me what was the matter if I'd rung her up that often and my dad would have been really annoyed with me for worrying her.

(Mind you, if I hadn't phoned every week there'd've been trouble!)

Because she is the mother of your children and her being hit by a truck would not be in the best interests of the children now would it? And why would you feel the need to say that if you were amicable with her up until this?

Because you sound very bitter towards her considering you have been divorced 6 years.

Using wording such as 'I'll get her to say..', 'I'll give her a stern talking to'. No wonder she's not replying to you.

This is not about your kids at all, this is about you not having control of what is happening now.

Zoe - theres always one who will try to cause an argument. That one is you here!

But we don't know yet what they are doing, they may still be doing as she said but she just missed out the married in Vegas bit.

I agree it should be all open and honest but for some reason she has not told her ex this part, maybe because he would have made things difficult for her and spolit what should be a happy time. He is not coming across as being happy for her!

No but he is coming across as being a caring father who isnt bothered with what his ex-wife is doing now as long as the kids are safe. I don't see the problem - hes not obliged to have anything more to do with his ex-wife is he doesnt want to surely?

No, but the California one is less than a day's drive away and is often combined with a trip to LV.

OP - With you all the way on this one.

Ignore the 'girl power' wolfpack that a lot of posters on this forum seem to be part of.

Imagine if genders were reversed. You can guarantee the same posters would be going on about the 'evil man' sneaking his kids away to marry some 'slapper' and how the poor mother was stuck at home worried sick.
