To be annoyed that people think we are insane for going on holiday with ex DP?

[Greggers2017]

Me and my ex DP have been separated for 6 years, it was an amicable split, we'd just grown apart and we're better as friends. We have 2 DC together, DD12 and DS10.
I am in a new relationship of 4 years with a DSD11 and a 3 month old baby.
Ex DP is remarried and had 2 DC aged 3 and 18 months.
We all get on fantastic and are good friends and regularly go out for meals etc.
Would we be insane to all go on holiday together next year. Obviously staying in our own apartments but same resort. We've done long weekends camping in the past and they worked well. But this time people are being quite horrible about it. What's your opinions?

I think that is lovely and if no one involved minds then ignore the unwanted comments. What a lovely example you are showing to your children

People are judging it by there own soured relationships with exes.

If you all get on, why the hell not?

Go on your holiday and enjoy!

What a wonderful way for your children and siblings to grow up! It sounds lovely. Go on the holiday, and who cares what anyone else thinks? If things work for you and your children, what does it matter to anyone else?

I think you're fantastic! Do it!

I think that’s amazing. One of my relatives takes his ex wife’s child on holiday with their children (so he wouldn’t feel left out)

As long as everyone is happy, then go for it!

What everyone else has said. You, your ex, and your respective partners have got this thing cracked!

I really don't understand why people can't see this and recognise that it's a fantastic thing, and not a weird thing. I'd completely ignore them. They're out of order in trying to find negatives in it.

What an amazing way of co parenting. It sounds very chilled out and lovely. As a women that grew up with separated parents I wish they could have got along like this! Have a fab holiday😉

Thank you for your opinions I really appreciate them all.

Don't take any notice of what others say. I think it's fantastic! I stayed friends with my ex, he's been to stay with my husband and I when he was working in the area. My children never have to worry about family occasions being awkward. I get on with his wife. It's the best way! And have a lovely holiday!

I agree with others. Well done for maintaining such a good relationship with your ex, and to your new partners.

I think it would be great for the kids. They get to spend time with both parents and all their siblings. Stuff what others think if it works for you guys go for it.

What an amazing thing to do for the children you have together. YADNBU, crack on and good for you smile

This ^^ 100x!

Ignore other people their opinions shouldn't define your happiness

I think it’s really lovely and mature of you all. Far better than being down each others throats.

I think this sounds brilliant. It's like divorce utopia.

My uncle managed a similar relationship with his ex wife, they had one child together and both had more children in their second marriages, all the kids called each other siblings & spent lots of time together. It seemed really positive from my position.

I think it’s lovely as well. I wish we’d had such a relationship with DH’s ex!

This sounds lovely. Go ahead and enjoy your holiday, ignore the haters they’re probably just jealous.

It's great that you all get on well enough to do this. I think your kids can only benefit from it

It definitely works for us. Obviously they do get holidays on their own with us and with their dad and his family but this way also works for us too.
