My wife left me in April for another guy - I live in our home and she lives in her own place and the agrrement is we work the childrens access around my work.
I work shift's so get to have my children generally 4 days per week so its a good arrangement.
Since our split I have been feeling really positive and definitely would not be interested in a reconcilliation with my wife.
Problem is my children ( who are with her and her new partner this weekend) rang me tonight and were really happy and having fun with her and her new partner, which I know I should be happy about, but its the first time it really hit the heart strings - its like they are a little family and I'm on my own:(
They even went to my children's school fete today as a family. I know life goes on and these things are all part of the process but it still makes me sad.
me and the children have a really fun time when they're here with me so I don't know why I'm feeling like this but I am.....anyone else in the same situation??

Its only normal.. your feeling like your role in the family is being replaced. It isnt.. Your kids love you and nothing would take away from that.. They are just having fun with this guy and that has nothing to do with how they feel about you. no matter what happens he will never replace Daddy and they know it.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, Tony. You know how much those kids love you! I know part of you wants them not to get along with him because of how you feel about him, but I know you really don't want them to be unhappy. And you ARE a family with them and you will ALWAYS be their daddy! You are a great father, Tony....don't ever forget that! Please take care and God bless you!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
