Looks like you all had a great time and lovely weather too!
You look great and soooo young - on one of the photos I had to look again as I thought it was one of your daughters

Well done picnicprincess

Awww thanks you lot, and at you thinking i was one of the daughters, are you all drunk

Xenia - He could help more but chooses not too and i cannot force him. He knows he is free to have the kids whenever he likes, I can do no mre than that.

Like my ex. I have the children 365 nights a year less about 6 and then he doesn't have all the children. Pity you can't force men to have contact as they do in some countries abroad.

Yep totally agree, but also find it so sad that they don't want more contact, don't know how they can just switch off like they do.
