On thursday I will be travelling to London to stay with my boyfriend for 10 days. I will also be kid free as they are going on holiday with my parents. It will be really great. It's not often I get to go anywhere without kids being there.

emilystrange · 29 May 2005, 11:19

this forum is not free of kids either, and they're mostly over 30....

Great! Have fun.

Me and the missus have 3 kids, so we are never kids-free

get divorced then you get one weekend in every four free...and sometimes a week or so in the school holidays

Am in an extremely 'flip' mood today - forgive any offense.

Or having them every second week. Ah, nice

HOWEVER, the s**t that leads to the divorce is the downside.

Actually I am divorced but the woman doesnt get the luxury of being able to drop and forget about the kids whenever its not convenient for her to remember them.

I'm a lone parent to 2 girls aged 10 and 8.

Debaser · 29 May 2005, 16:22

Sorry if I sounded uncaring BS....as I mentioned am feeling rather flippant today. I too was a lone prent my husband deciding to bugger off leaving me to raise our three year old and 9 month old sons.

He saw them as and when was convenient to him (usually two or three hours every now and again - and at the drop of a hat never previously arranged (JUST incase I then decided to use that time to actually go out myself...)

The only time he suddenly became father-like was a few years later when I had bagged miself a blokey, and this guy was actually seeing more of his sons than he was.

I am now the proud(

) parent of a 22year old fool and a 19 year old sociaphobe

In the great words of Mr Philip Larkin - 'They f**k up up your Mum and Dad..'

Have fun and plenty of undisturbed LUV! I know what you mean... I am a mum living in devon with no babysitters around. Which caused a lot of problems in my marriage...

eastmidswhizzkid · 01 Jun 2005, 00:18

me and mrs whizzkid have two kids,with a third on the way.technically this will be my first,but "technically" is as far as it goes:we have been a family for over four years now and in everything but name i'm their "dad".
what i find hard to get my head around is the attitude of Amber (the youngest of the two)'s dad.unlike Izzy (the eldest)'s dad-who lives over two hundred miles away,yet still makes every effort to keep in touch and has Iz to stay as often as he can-Ambers dad,who only lives a few minutes drive away has to be brow-beaten into having anything to do with her.
this situation has been going on for most of her natural life-shes just turned five-and he still treats the whole thing as an excuse to try and hurt her mum;even though he has since met somebody else and had a kid with her.
it doesnt seem to cross his mind that a)he is hurting his own flesh and blood;and b) that he is missing out on experiencing her grow up-something i wouldnt have missed for the world.
its not like there has ever been any attempt to make things difficult for him.in fact its true to say that one of the few things me and my missus disagree on is the way we bend over backward to accomodate him.go figure.

black-saturn · 01 Jun 2005, 12:38

I'm in a similar situation. My 2 daughters dad hasn't seen them for about 5 years. Last time he saw them he threatened to kill them and then left them in a field to find their own way home. The field was 4 miles from my house and they were aged 5 and 3 at the time. They managed to find their way to my mum and dads house but they were out. In the meantime their kretin of a dad had rung me to tell me he was going to kill them so I dialled 999. The Police went straight round there and he told them where he had left them but by then they were already standing on my parents doorstep. They arrested him for neglect and for harrassment (over 300 silent phonecalls from him at all hours). While the Police and I were looking my parents came home and thankfully the children were OK. It went to court but by then he had a new girlfriend with a kid (shes 17 and has a 5 year old daugher - do your sums, and he's 43) who testified in court that he was a wonderful father to her. So all he got was a Â£100 fine. They didnt even give him a restraining order!!
