Easter Eurodisney (or Butlins)

Hi guys,

Just an idea and nowt may come of it but any single parents up for doing
Eurodisney or some other kid friendly holiday place over Easter or a long
weekend? The advantage is we could split costs and time, any adult that
wanted to wander off when it was not their shift could happily do so.
Realise it applies more to UK than anyone else.

Hmmm,

May be a bit of a hiccup on that. Daughter says it should only be 'me and
daddy' but she may relent later. Also thinking about it unlike places like
PlayTown EuroDisney does not have a cage you can chuck them in while you get
on with your own chat etc

daddy' but she may relent later.

I think considering the emotional upheaval you have all been through, if your
little girl wants Daddy to herself, you should give her that.

Along those lines, I think I've finally found someone suitable. Not the guy I
was talking about before - I met him the normal way, having pizza and beer with
the guys every Friday - even confided to him while I was dating the other guy
and finally he asked me out and I think we are good for each other.

My kids are just great about him being around, seem to like him. I keep
checking with them "Is it okay if he comes along to the movie, comes
over..whatever" and they really are fine.

And I think, aside from the fact he's a good guy, I did spend nearly 4 years
not dating, focusing on them and now they are older and secure in my attention,
they can let me have a little life.

I think it's kind of how someone people say that if you focus too much
attention on little children, picking them up when they cry, letting them in
their bed, they will become too dependent on you but what they found is in
fact, those children have the confidence to be more dependent..I think for us
anyway, focusing on them right after their father's death gave them the
confidence when we were all ready for Mom to have a relationship.

Hey, congratulations! Great start to the year! Hope all goes well. Sounds
like a good way to meet as well so you got to know each other and grew
comfortable before the relationship developed. I agree with you that its
important for your children to be secure in your attention and you are still
letting them know they are number one for you with your asking them if its
OK etc. Whenever we are going somewhere I usually ask my one if we should
invite this friend of hers or the other, her usual response is the 'just
daddy and me' one although there are a couple of her friends that she is now
keen on visiting and visiting her but when we go on trips she usually likes
just the two of us to go see new places and things.

Happy New Year and once again congratulations and best wishes

Well I'm dating but I'm not meeting new people. I've known the guy I'm dating
for a few years.

The other one was a new guy? Oh heck, I can't keep everyone's lives
straight.

Sorry Andrew.... if I make it to Europe, the last place I shall go is
Disney! I hope you and your daughter have fun though. You really should
come to FL though! I will meet you all there.
