on friday i called my stbx from work to ask did he have any plans with the kids that night. he said no. so i went to my friends house for dinner and a movie for the kids (hers and mine). He proceeded to call me back at work and said "HEY" When are we planning on telling the kids? Now Here i am trying to close the cafeteria register and hes calling me for this. so i simply said we have nothing to tell them yet . we dont have answere to questions they'll have, like "where are we gonna live, mommy or daddy" thats why we havent told them. he then asked , when will we know?" Well i said i have no idea. I mean my guess is as good as his when we'll come to a civilized agreement on all of this. what do you think . is it bizarre , him calling me at work to ask these questions. next time, i dont answer my cell if its him.

It might be a good idea to tell them in a family counseling session. That way a professional could be there to help them express their emotions.

i agree with vicki, just keep in mind that children are more resiliant than you think and they will get thru this, and dont let him interfere with your job. good luck

Does he have a habit of calling with difficult isues at work or is it just weighing heavily on his mind?

Hmm, you called him at work, and then he called you at work?
Maybe you both should talk face to face and not call each other at work.
But yes, the kids should know what's going on even if you don't know all the details. It sounds like you are still living together, it would be even harder on them if you tell them when one has to move out.
IMO

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
