[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm five years out from my divorce, my kids were 15 and 21 at the time - now I am past the emotional roller-coaster my ex and I went through (and inevitably put them through) I have reason to believe they see us both happier than when we were married, and they see us getting along better apart than we ever did married.  The ex and I live a mile apart and we agreed he gets Thanksgiving and I get Christmas, so holidays don't cause the hassle they would otherwise cause.  All in all, it was a gauntlet that we all got through and learned from the experience.[/quote]

So what's your plan for holidays when your children have significant others? Because it won't be you get every Christmas and your ex-husband gets every Thanksgiving. Sorry.[/quote]

This.  Then factor in if your child’s spouse has divorced parents too.  Now they have 4 separate households to try and get together with.  Then factor in if one both of you remarries someone with adult children.  They are going to want to plan things separately with their own kids too.  There is a LOT of family time sacrifice and splitting that results from divorce.  But it isn’t your children’s fault so be sure to never complain or ask for visits.  They will make time for you when they are able to and want to. [/quote]
