Hi- louis burg and lilith- welcome to the madhouse- sit back and enjoy- or better still- jump in with both feet ( in mouth if you're anything like me lol)
yeah yeah yeah- 'lets' move from New Hampshire- state of mild spring, beautiful summer and 'the new England Fall'- even the winters were lovely- harsh yes but i'd take snow over rain. grey clouds and more rain anyday!'' ''it never rains in wexford''
don't use it or any chat sites- i find there is enough crossposting here, without dozens of folks posting at the same time on a chat board- too much gets lost- there are cracking/ hilarious comments on here at times, that i would hate to get lost in the drivel. JMHO
i need those at the side- my car is a disgrace- had a patient tell me' do you realise there's a huge car on the side of your dents??' cheeky get!! i have never had a crash , but i am crap at judging just how close that wall/bollard/gate at work is!!
okp- she's started!!!!!!!!!!!!! highly dramatic friends that know you are a nurse and call you every 15 minutes to update you on their or their kids condition , but never listen when you tell themthey have to see a doctor( wait until 3 in the morning to call you when it really is an emergency by then!!
yeah- i would love it too- and have a friend who would looooove to meet some people= not looking good for the weekend change- will try to call in a favour and get someone to at least work sunday or some of it
it's hard to do but with some friends you have to make the first move- plus, I have met you and can vouch for the fact that i'm sure they would be chuffed to have you along!! hope you had a good time
that is so nice minx- yes we divorce the person, not the family and i'm glad you got to spend that time with you FIl and i'm sure your ex appreciates it too.i will always be close to my ex's family ( i was there when his dad died and helped the hospice nurse lay out his body- and would still have done that if it happened now.In some ways, i still love my ex- for the times that we shared and the kids we created- i never want to be 'with him' again, but the bond will always be there, i hope, so i will treat his family as my own , as long as i am allowed
i'm sorry to hear that GM- it's a shame that she can't see the advantages for your daughter to see you geting on with her aunties/uncles/grandparents. I know my family wuld be happy to see my ex in any kind of situation- isn't that what being a grown up is all about- they weren't married to him, as i wasn't maried to his family, so if i can get on with him, why not the family too?
that sounds just like mine- when we went to visit or for lunch, he would sit and read the paper, and i would chat, mind the kids, and help with dinner!! so why should i not continue that- luckily he has no problem with it
A recent conversation made me think about this...how is your relationship with your 'inlaws'?. I am still very friendly with mine.they babysit, or i will meet for a coffee, they will drop in on the way back to dublin from the ferry etc. are you still friendly with yours? I would hate to think i had to stop being friends with them,......their son/brother( ie my ex) and I are civil, and making the effort to get along for the sake of harmony and the kids.
Do you think there is anything wrong with keeping close ties with my kids uncles/aunties/grandma? I think it is wrong to cut them out of their lives. i suppose i am lucky that all my inlaws are lovely, and that my husband and I don't hate each other- just realised that wI didn't want to be married to him any more. I'm sure it makes it so much harder when things are not like that. what's your experience. posting this on the international site too, for a wider perspective.
