May be a bit of a hiccup on that. Daughter says it should only be 'me and
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.

Oh good to hear!

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.

Yea I think I mentioned about meeting someone on Fastdater.com - I guess I did
meet a lot of men that night! It was fun and I would recommend something like
that.

However, before my new guy asked me out I had decided I was done with
artificial ways to meet men. For me, it put too much pressure on establishing
"a relationship" and didn't work. I had decided I wanted a man who knew me to
ask me out because he wanted to get to know me better, and lo and behold -
someone did! Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, life works out that way and
it makes everthing else worth while.

Depends on the kid - at two my daughter loved Disneyland in California but at 6
most things were overwelming for my son.

I agree, I think at 3 it will be more work than anything else as you will be
riding herd on a bunch of wild young kids rather than holidaying, they won't
all be able to go on the same rides and they will not get the best of it (I
think) till a couple of years later. Now that I know the age of one of your
kids (see my earlier reply to your holiday post) it gives me one possible
idea. OK, its not that exotic, its not that exciting a destination but just
near where I live, along the Purley Way there is a complex with restaurants,
a bowling alley, a pub, Pizza Hut, Wacky Warehouse (a kids indoor, safe play
area with food and stuff just above the Gypsy Moth pub). Well, the advantage
is that from one of the hotels right in this complex you can walk to the
Wacky Warehouse (they are next door), the Pizza Hut, take a bus into Croydon
and take the kids to Playtown (another similar venue), take the kids bowling
(apart from the 3 year old but my 4 going on 5 loves it!) and there are
several outdoor playgrounds and woods around. There are also some people in
the area that I can personally recommend and vouch for if you wanted to
leave the kids with someone for a bit and take some recharge time out
yourself. OK, its not the worlds wildest holiday destination (Purley) but it
has some advantages in things for the kids.

Another thought, how about going and booking into a hotel near LegoLand?
LegoLand is brilliant and its focussed very much on kids from 3 to about 10
and no more, I have not seen any wild screaming teenagers there. Also
someone once mentioned to me somewhere in Southhampton they like for similar
reasons which is apparently even less crowded most of the time
