        cheers lads!

        i think it's neither a worry nor having a reason to believe so. i just want to understand the logic, because being my first child, i wouldn't have much experience, or rather none at all, in reacting to such situations compared to some of you more experienced blokes. i also understand that different upbringings can result in different answers but it's definitely nice to hear the different views.

        i suppose with the way he's growing so far, he's very outgoing and gets along well with most kids, that it shouldn't be a problem. i guess the worry on my mind is that, at 5 or 6, they might not understand divorce really well and they might react differently because of their feelings.

        anyways, i supposed it's normal nowadays with kids outside marriage/divorced etc, but you know kids these days have a quick mouth and even if it's a normal thing, they probably wouldn't know better. anyways, he's currently living with his mom as well, and i see him whenever i'm back in singapore.

          With that came a sudden request from Maddy for a purse... from Yves Saint Laurent  ???

          At least it's dropped from her original request a year ago for a Chanel bag... Maybe if I can get her to wait another year, I could placate her with a nice OGL tote, lol!

                i'm curious to know what you guys would do as parents.

                my son started kindy this year and not being from a 'perfect family' (where mom and dad are still together) sometimes i feel he might get bullied by the other kids who of course do not know better.

                That makes me think of a comedy strip that was in the local radio a while ago. It was about kids getting bullied in school because their parents where still together and not divorced, like the majority. 🙂

                My favorite bullying line was: Your father is to ugly to find a younger woman!  😃

                My tip as a father of two. Relax and see what's going to happen. No need to panic now for no apparent reason. With divorce rates as high as they are, your boy will most likely be just one of many kids with such a background.

                  The train trip from Frankfurt to Darmstadt is supposed to take about 19 minutes.

                  1 hour later I‘m sitting in a train standing at the ass end of nowhere, far away from the destination I should have arrived 45 min ago with a group of twelvegraders besides me who talk bullshit all the time.

                  I‘m so pissed right now.

                        @cole has nailed it @louisbosco, and this is exactly my tip as a father of two as well.  I'm in your same situation as their mother and I have been separated for 7 1/2 years now.

                        Don't overthink it.  I think that's a common problem with a lot of younger parents today is overthinking things.  You're worrying about a problem that doesn't exist yet and IMO will never be a huge issue.  The reality is it's a far too common scenario like Cole stated.  Just chill  😎 😉

                                  Last wednesday, I started up my truck and it immediately made a terrible sound… Thought I had diagnosed it to either an Exhaust Manifold Crack (Common in my car) or Intake manifold gasket deterioration (common, but less common.)

                                  on Friday: Took it to the shop, turns out it was a failed bearing in the cooling fan bracket. Left it overnight, picked it up the next day

                                  Saturday: I hadn't made it 12 meters from the driveway of the shop, some idiot rear ended me. Wouldn't normally be a big deal, but considering that my Land Cruiser is almost 20 years old with an accident free auto history, it's a pretty rare gem... so I was pissed. This was Saturday.

                                  Sunday: Wife took the truck to the grocery and managed to completely destroy the KeyFob. Stuck with the spare now.

                                  Today: Woke up and a mouse (can't find it, probably got in at the shop) managed to chew up my speaker housings.

                                  Tomorrow: FOR SALE: 2002 Land Cruiser - alot of recent service work, needs new speaker housings.

                                        Thanks gentlemen @Clint_D @Giles - to be fair, the key was cracking already. I'm sure I can fix it with super glue, but after having to fix the fan bearing, my wife has placed a freeze on anything "unnecessary" for the Cruiser (Which is fair).

                                        To make matters worse, I just tried to find the culprit (Mouse) and it seems he managed to chew both of our car seats nearly apart (straps, rockers, etc.) My biggest fear is that he is hiding under the floorboards, only to die and stink up the place - which Clint knows, I worked hard refreshing the interior after the Marlboro Man owned it previously haha.
