Just came back from vacation.
I went away with the kids. 2 weeks just us and then 1 week my b/f joined us. We had a fantastic time. I needed to get away from the daily routine and the kids really enjoyed going to the beach. My b/f ended up going without his kids because he and his ex-wife couldn't come to terms on the kids traveling with us. It was a shame because I think all of them would have had a good time.
Their relationship needs a total make-over. Maybe that will be the next reality show. How to get exes to build a better relationship. I have never heard two people scream at one another so much. I love my boyfriend and I think he's a great guy and I wish he would try harder to not let his temper get the best of him. I have heard her on the phone with him. She is no easy pill to swallow either. Then again, separately, they are both terrific parents.
The time we spent together with my kids was spent having fun. It wasn't a romantic getaway; it was a family vacation. That's not what the Mrs. Boyfriend's Ex understood or wanted to understand. She claimed he would be too busy with me to pay attention to this children. I am a mother, I understand her worries and concerns. However, I feel for him too because he is their father and he would very much like to spend vacation time with his kids and me.
Is anyone else out there having the same problem? How do you deal with family vacations? Does it matter that we're not married? Would it make a difference? Is it possible that this divorce stuff is going to haunt all of us for the rest of our lives?
