Ex was suppose to drop the kids off this morning, but ended up dropping them off late last night. The kids have not talked much about the trip. Ex stayed in the car when he dropped them off which was very unusual for him especially lately. I am pretty much through trying to analyze his behaviors. I am just glad my kids are home safe and sound.

My kids just got back from their vacation with their dad and ow also. It feels nice to have them back, doesn't it? My kids also haven't really talked much about their vacation. I wonder why?
Almost doesn't make sense does it. My kids have not mentioned the trip at all.

to be honest t i think it is good they aren't talkign about it... with me when d11 (almost d12 ha!) comes home and i hear about stuff sometimes it stings the soul..you know? maybe for right now, with everything you have gone through these past few weeks it is just Gods blessing...you dont need to hear about ow you know?
something u said earlier in your post was very good -and revealing...it was in regards to trying to figure out xh -- i am with you on that. i think we "know" yet there is nothing we can do about their insanity -- so we are moving forward right?
when you heading thsi way young lady?

Honestly, how many of us can say we would have a great time on a "FAMILY" trip when mom has been replaced by an outsider? They all know their fathers have made total fools of themselves but they can do/say nothing about it.
It was probably sad for them--not having mom around to join the fun and I will bet they really did not have any fun at all.
I really feel for all the kids I read about here whose fathers have introduced and attempt to put ow in their lives while still married to mom.

Been reading this thread a bit. I think we need to recognize that a trip to Disney following a funeral of someone we love and will miss doesn't have a chance of being a good time. These kids are mourning. In XH defense, he did consider not taking them at all. He is awake enough (for the moment) to recognize a less than brilliant vacation timing. H.

Ex texted me about the kids schedules. He could of just contacted my daughter directly.
My older daughter told me that on the trip all my 3 year old did was talk about "mommy" to her dad and OW. My older daughter stated that even she was getting annoyed at how much my 3 year old was sharing. This made me laugh until I about choked. I wish I could have witnessed that. That put a little damper in their fantasy world.
My older daughter stated that she said things like, "Where is mommy" "Hey Daddy, why don't you sleep with mommy" "I love mommy" "I want to see my mommy" "Why is mommy not here?" "Mommy is pretty" "Let's pray about mommy"
Life is good.
