How to have fun with your kids.

Relax
Play
Laugh

Bake a cake
Build a den
Go for a walk in the woods

Do not mention.......
divorce
solicitor
court
lack of money
your loneliness

Do mention.......
their great spelling test result
how well they ride a bike
that you love them
that you like them

Put yourself in their place...swap roles...can you remember what it was like to be 7?
What did you think of your mum and dad? How would you feel if your mum stopped you seeing your dad? If your dad hit your mum? Remember it forever?
Life is about progress....aim to be a better parent.....

Must go and make my son a tuna fish sandwich and check out his den!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent advice. I think "Put yourself in their place" could apply to the other parent too.
