[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are in the honeymoon period,

One positive kid interaction of surface politeness doesn't prove they will ever like it accept her long term.

I think you are discovering that it's far easier to maintain a relationship as the part-time parent of older kids than the full-time parent of younger kids. You're not necessarily a better partner, you just have an easier life and her expectations are lower because you aren't married.

OP here. I think you make very good points. You see parenting from your mom viewpoint. I may see it differently and I believe I fully participated. [/quote]

I never said you didn't fully participate. Just that it's easier with older kids part time. [/quote]

Yes, it's totally different to focus on a relationship when you both live full time with your joint kids, than the date someone during the free time that your divorced status affords you. Even if you eventually move in with your girlfriend, you will still only have your kids part-time.

But she's 15 years younger, that means you have to give her a consolation baby . . .  So you'll be right back where you started eventually. Then, and only then, will we find out how much you've really changed.[/quote]
