terms of divorce question (divorced 2005!)

A question about : terms of divorce question (divorced 2005!)

hi, hope this is in the right place - just looking for some advice if anyone can help!

my current partner and i have been in a relationship for approximately 10 months.

he was divorced from the mother of his three children in 2005 - the children were then aged 19, 17 and 6. As part of the divorce he was left with a load of debt that the ex wife had racked up in his name but he was left to pay as it was her word against his etc.

Toys and trinkets

A question about : Toys and trinkets

I have nothing against spending money and buying toys for my child but I can't understand why my wife insists we have to buy lots of things all the time.

My child seems to either lose interest or have too many things to choose from.

To top it all of, my wife is a bit of a hoarder. Everything we have ever bought we still have and its clogging up the whole house. Selling or giving things away to others seems to bit a bit of a no-no

What is tradition to buy wife after giving birth?

A question about : What is tradition to buy wife after giving birth?

Hi Guys,

After some help. My wife and I are expecting our first baby at the end of March which we are very excited about.

I want to buy my wife something after she has had bump, and I think I remember reading somewhere that is is tradition to get something specific??... I think it could have been an eternity ring but I am not sure.

Can someone tell me if there is something?.. Im thinking Jewellery, although she already has an eternity ring!

thanks
Mr P

Hi,

I'm going to buy the family a board game for Christmas to get us all together rather than sitting in front of the TV.

Any recommendations? We have five children, ages 8 to 11, 4 girls and a boy.

What do you reckon they might all enjoy, tough one I know!

Thanks for any ideas.
