ekimswish Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Hey, I know a lot of you guys are divorced and/or have just lived a really long life with a lot of time to have had babies 20 or 30 years ago. So how do your kids feel about you having a new life in the Philippines? How do they feel about maybe having half brothers and sisters in the Philippines? How do they feel about you having a new wife twenty years younger than their mom, possibly their age (try to answer the other questions first, since the age thing's been beat to death)?

How do they feel about you having a new wife twenty years younger than their mom, possibly their age (try to answer the other questions first, since the age thing's been beat to death)?My daughter's mother is a Filipina so she has a big connection with the Philippines already and has been on many trips to the Philippines. The latest trip was in May for the fiesta where my ex wife is from. She is happy to appear in Philippines videos and pictures on my webite.I don't plan to have any more kids so the half brother issue isn't a problem.About 6 years ago, I showed my daughter a picture of a new girlfriend and she said she looks ugly. I haven't bothered to have a discussion about girlfriends since.Regards: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom in Texas Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I love kids but....couldn't eat a whole one!For bite size portions, try Girl Scout cookies. According to "Wednesday" on the Adams Family... "they're made from real Girl Scouts." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnunez69 Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I'm still a good 5 years away from going, and my kids are not too thrilled, especially the girls 19 and 27. My boys are maybe a little more forgiving. They 're 23 and 26. My kids are very jealous and will not take too kindly to a new wife, regardless of age, race or sex. So you could imagine how they'd love half brothers or sisters. Not! To say the least, it will be a challenge just to get to the Philippines! But I'll die trying!

Gold Heart Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Hey, I know a lot of you guys are divorced and/or have just lived a really long life with a lot of time to have had babies 20 or 30 years ago. So how do your kids feel about you having a new life in the Philippines? How do they feel about maybe having half brothers and sisters in the Philippines? How do they feel about you having a new wife twenty years younger than their mom, possibly their age (try to answer the other questions first, since the age thing's been beat to death)?My son 27 enjoys and loves his brother 7. I could never have imagined having sons this far apart. He ,as I would hope most children, would just want their parents to be happy and I think he is genuinely happy for me. The older son balances his relationship with me an his mom/ my ex gracefully and understands that the new wife had nothing to do with the divorce and that there was no ability to salvage that relationship. My wife is still 10+ years older than him. I'm not sure how I would feel if she was the same age or younger than him.
