Well, I was not married to my son's father. My H was not married to the psycho hose bag he had kids with.

My son's father was never in the picture but I can tell you that my H would never have gotten along with him and it is probably for the best that they never met.

I would love to have thought this was because of my son's BF's lack of responsibility but, in reality, it would just be because he would be a reminder that I had a life before H.

I guess I'm one of those control freaks because I never let my current husband and my x interact. I dealt with my x and I expect him to deal with his. My husband and I have house rules that we expect all of the kids to comply with and we each have the autonomy to redirect each other's kids when dealing with our house rules. However, I feel the actual way they are raised should be based on the bio parent's wishes. I have no vested interested in his kids, nor he mine. Besides, I am at a different point in my life than my husband. My girls are grown and gone. His are still teenagers. I don't want to raise someone elses' kids and I sure as heck don't want all of the baggage of an x-wife. I would prefer he kept that away from me. It makes me happy and vice versa.

me and MY ex and dh and his ex don't even refer to eachother as friends...we are merely parents and have to cooperate with eachother for the sake of the kiddo's

my skids i guess are told by bm that her and my dh are still friends (they said this last weekend). of course with a bit of hesitation (thinking about his response i guess) he told his d "i don't know about that"

we are aquaintences.....nothing more, nothing less

my ex and dh get along, dh tolerates my ex, my ex likes my dh to the point :sick: he helped dh on an outside chore one day when he was putting off going home ..yeah i didn't like that

I have no ex, per se. My DH probably "interacts" with my late husband fine. He lives at the cemetary down the street. :O

I did not spawn with my XW so there is no reason for my bride to ever meet my X.

As for my SS-18's SpermIdiot? I detest the man. He is a 41yo worthless POS with four out-of-wedlock spawn by three different baby mamas two who were SpermIdiot statutory rape victims (though he was not convicted). Wears pants half way down his ass and shows boxers because he thinks they are cool. He wears braids, corn rows, dreds and puffy little golf ball looking hair styles and tries to pawn himself off as black when he looks like Opie Cunningham. He has no African in his gene pool besides his youngest two children who are bi-racial.

His mommy and daddy pay his CS for my SS, raise his youngest three in their home with no help from the SpermIdiot or the two other baby mama's who are also worthless pieces of shit. He lives in a home owned by the SpermGrandParents and pays no rent and drives their hand me down vehicles that he does not pay a dime for. He is a licensed plumber so his worthless POS status is entirely by choice. He is capable of supporting himself and his spawn.

I have no sympathy or use for the dip shit and put out major magnetic vibs for a meteor to land on the SpermClan family reunion when they scrape one together.

My bride has heard me say many times that when the SpermGrandParents bite the big one or if we are blessed to have the SpermIdiot done in by his gang banger wannabe efforts or my hoped for meteor strike that I am taking a first class vacation to SpermLand to piss on their graves.

Does that answer your question?

They sit next to each other at football games and recitals, they man the grill together at graduation parties.
