as most of you may(or may not have) read, myself and my partner split.

i have a solicitors appointment on monday to determine hours for darren to see the kids. however we are sitting down today to (again) see if we can resolve anything more.

a question i have.. i have a new partner, although were taking things slow, its going really well. im not looking for a replacement dad, just someone who is there for me as well as being good with the kids. which he is

what i want to know though, is how much is too much for example today im taking kids to either the park or to jungle kids(indoor play area) and craig has asked if he can come too, which im really chuffed about! but i know if darren(ex) found out he would be miffed!

should i just ignore the fact darren is jealous and be happy that craig is taking an interest in being involved with the kids? or should i try not include craig in activities with the kids?

I loved when my mums boyfriend took us to the park the first time we met him. I still remember it now and I was about 5/6. He bought us loads of sweets. Haha.

If he's a nice guy and you want him to be in your kids life, f*ck what Darren thinks.

When my husband and i got together his ex was very concerned about me spending time with their daughter. Think it just took time for her to come to terms with the idea of someone new. It was over 2 years before i actually met the ex but once she realised Amy enjoyed spending time with me it mad things (which happened way before i met her) I know i am coming at this from a different angle but it will sort itself out.

If Craig wants to come and spend time with your kids, that is a positive and I wouldn't deter him from it irregardless of what Darren thinks.

Darren has been unfair to you and in time he will realize that the relationship is over and will carry on with his life too. All signs point towards Darren having a big jealousy issue. He should have thought of his actions when you both were together. Now, he should think of his actions for the children!

If you're ready for Craig to meet your children then do it, sod what Darren thinks. You know what is best for them and base your decision on that.

if you think hes gona be sticking around for a good while then the kids need to get to know him! Darren should realise that. Do what you feel is best for the kids x

well, we went to the park which was great fun! and then we went to kfc for tea. craig was fantastic with the kids, chasing after chloe wen she was wanderin off and holding chloes hand wen she asked him to etc

Its good that Craig wants to be involved, i think if you wasnt that sure about him, you wouldnt of let him around your kids in the first place... Glad things worked out for you xx

I'm glad you all had a lovely day
