My wife's parents will be with us this time. It's a chance for them to get to know their grandkids more, given they'll probably be looking after them a bit when they're living with us more. Not that that has any relevance to this thread whatsoever. The reason I didn't start this thread in Direness is because I knew it would revert to my kids pretty quickly. Which it did in the very first reply. So that obviously didn't work Stick to the topic or STFU in other words.
So Fiery's new missus' parents will be looking after his kids when they're visiting? Wow. If I left my missus and left the kids high and dry I wouldn't leave them with some randoms when I got visitation.
Wow. "New missus". We've been married over 4 years We're actually moving back to Denmark soon...and when we're both working they will be able to look after the kids sometimes. They're hardly randoms. They're my mother and father in-law, who I know and get on with very well.
[MENTION=1]Cribbage[/MENTION] you are missed. He's active on CW. Too much cricket going on I reckon. No time for Cricsim. And given the level of discourse here, I don't blame him.
They will be with me half the time and half the time with their mother. That's how it usually works with non-custodial split parents.
You have to forgive us, we have only seen your example which is normally split up 50 weeks with their mum, 2 with you.
They'll already be spending more time with me in 2016 than their mum and they were with me for a lot more than 2 weeks last year. More like 3 months actually. The idea of this trip is for them to get to know their new grandparents more and used to idea of spending half the year away from NZ with me until eventually we move back to NZ in a few years. Why are you so interested in my family situation anyway? Are you looking for someone to adopt you? I thought you had a pretty cushy deal there living at home with all expenses paid and using your old man's internet and fridge etc.
