Bonjour Trey! That's great about the closeness in France with Chet and Ava! You 3 make a great team!

Woohoo for the blending of families!

Love is a beautiful thing!

Let Love Rule!

My rule with my ex-wfie, the one actually in our divorce decree is to be with someone six months before introducing them to your kids. Around the same time I think it's right to tell the ex because the kids are gonna blab anyway.

Blending the families, eh? Congrats! Are you talking married-blended or just plain ol' we're-hanging-out-all-the-time-and-together blended? I'm nosy and I don't honestly expect you to answer that question. I'm happy for you though.

Question: when one is divorced and has children and considers blending families, when do you decide to tell the ex about all of it? How much does the ex deserve to know? Tricky.

I still believe that Chet would ease on down if he knew what was happening. There are some kids who have a need to know what's around every corner once they've experienced something that feels as unstable and earth shattering as divorce. I do agree that reassurance and attention are very good for him at this time.

I'm so glad you all had the time together. Your posts about your feelings for the kids almost always make tears spring to my eyes.
