oh wow – my divorce was child free – a blessing in a way … still I let myself get ripped off big time. Be so careful with yourself .. your optimism is a wonderful asset in parenting, but have a back up position too – gloves off and all …

as always your pics are divine … and great job getting the new gigs … your bro’s food looks yummo – plenty of comfort there

we should put fe’s dh and your boy in a boat and send them off until they regain their sensibility … these most precious babes are afterall their flesh and blood too … how dare he distinguish between supporting the girls Vs supporting you … you are the PRIMARY caregiver … hello ??

my best to you – trust your mummy intuition – le xoxo

[...] project. You might remember I mentioned the work in progress (turning the garage into a playroom) here, and a few months ago I took a before photo of the garage so I could show you the transformation [...]

This just fills me with rage. rage. rage. rage.rage. And there’s no simple answer because you can’t and probably won’t withold visiting rights because that’s not in the best interest of the girls – so what else have you got to bargain with?

And I want to strangle the lawyer. You say it’s a ’she’. Bloody Hell. Just one more way we women are terrible to each other.

Love how men can walk away and not look back….my own Dad did that to me and my mum. I tracked him down when i was in my early 20s. I kept in contact with him over the last 10 odd years but it was hard. I could never form real bond, and blamed him for leaving me as a young baby. He has now turned his back on me and my kids…..so he misses out on five grand kids. I joke with my hubby “you could never afford to leave me” and its so true…I would take my hubby to the cleaners if he left me because my kids deserve the best education possible. Funny how men can just dismiss and walk away as if it is nothing.
Hope you can come to an agreement that suits you both, especially for the kids benefit.
cheers on a great blog

Hi! I have just read one of your posts by accident, I was doing a search on Tupperware (I have recently joined and was wondering what was out there on the www). I am a West Aussie with two young children – Stephanie, 2 1/2 with lots of attitude and Matthew, 6 months. I just wanted to write to say that I am in awe of your blog and commend you on the fantastic read I have just had. Hope life in Mexico is treating you well and feel free to drop me a line whenever you feel like it.
Take care, Bec

oh hun! head lice just suck! I am so glad I have boys when we get headlice … we shave their heads! LOL When we first got headlice I did all the treatments, combing etc, but we too just reinfested. They are happy to have it done, so it works well! Hope you have managed to keep them at bay now!

It just seems endlessly unfair that this should happen to you and the girls and I really do take my hat off to you for being so patient and brave. I think the way you are choosing to deal with this situation says a lot about you as a person and no matter how hard it is, you have to commend yourself for that! Fingers crossed it will all be worked out peacefully with the lawyers, although that doesn’t have any real bearing on his actual relationship with his girls. Sigh.

On a more positive note, what excellent news about your photography bookings. As I have said before, its been such a great experience taking your photography journey alongside you (albeit on the internet!) and it makes me feel very happy to see you succeeding! Long may your success last!

I’m angry too after reading this post! What can I say? The man doesn’t deserve such lovely little girls, it’s so unfair that he gets to be Fun Dad on the weekends when you will end up struggling to support them and this talk of him buying a house? Let him get a 2 bed flat, plenty of room, SOW, sorry I mean TOW has probable been nagging him as she will want as much as possible. Also, if he insists on sticking to this new agreement and is working for himself you say “fine, well, as I’ll be back at work we’ll take turns by the week picking the girls up from school etc”…

It’s such a shame about the kids’ father being quite the asshole. I don’t quite get what goes on in these guys minds. If he does renege on the school fees (and I agree with above commenter – you should fight for him helping to pay them) then at least you’ll be making heaps from your photography. You’re doing a great job.

It’s very usual to continue to ‘hope’ that they’ll eventually wake up to themselves and become the fathers that our kids deserve, but unfortunately many of them don’t. Your girls will know though. Kids aren’t stupid and they will gradually become tired of dad only being funy when he wants to and they’ll know.
