To keep it short: my ex-wife cheated on me with this guy, we divorced, she married him immediately after. Since January we’ve been co-parenting, she has our son (14 years old) for 2 weeks & I have him for 2 weeks. Her now husband is wealthy, and for the winter holidays they plan on going to the Maldives for 3 weeks (I agreed to give up 1 week of my 2 weeks; gonna get +1 week with son after the vacation). Apparently son has been asking his mom and stepdad if I can come as well. So ex-wife calls me and asks me if I’d like to go, all expenses paid by them, just to be with our son and have some fun - and let’s “put all the bad blood behind”. I told her I’ll think about it, but honestly I don’t think I’d feel comfortable. At the same time going would make son extremely happy obviously. Idk.

    Childcare… Of his own son?..

    You know parents who, you know, love their children, actually want to spend time with them, right?

      You know a whole lot of parents don’t love their kids and don’t want to spend time with them, right?

      I’d absolutely assume mom & new dad would have several romantic dinners and activites alone while bio-dad entertained his kid.

        I don’t think the guy would be pondering on here about going if he didn’t love his kid and didn’t want to spend time with him.

            Even you were talking about the dad, why did the kid suffer because of the mom? He won’t be blind to their actions regardless
