Had a lovely meal out this afternoon to celebrate grandsons 15th, made all the better by Bournemouth snatching a draw in the footie. There were 10 of us at the meal, Mrs Tkk baked a lovely chocolate cake. I did feel a little bit awkward as it worked out that I was seated with Mrs Tkk on my left, and ex Mrs Tkk on my right 😮

Ooohhh that sounds difficult.

Barnet,
So sad, that forum stalwart Oldwheels has passed away. 😥

His son has posted in Mundane News.

More sad news.
He stopped posting on this forum some time back, but continued on others.
As he lived on Mull, he was always posting the latest news from CallMac ferries.

My DIL's biological father has been married three times and her mother twice. So that's three mothers and two fathers.

My son and DIL decided the families should all meet for dinner. We duly did. It was the first time all three wives and two husbands had been in a room together. Mrs P and I had a great night..........we just sat back and watched. 🤣

Makes my life sound boring.
My parents and Sue's parents were married just the once. Same for me and Sue.

Daughters friend has a dad who has been three times. She was mortified when she discovered that she would be older than her new step mother 😮

I am my wife's 3rd husband

the first - and her son's biological father - was kicked out many many years ago and buggered off
the second is "not well thought of" - she mutters a lot when his name crops up

he will be at "The Wedding" in June - which she is not happy about but wouldn't interfere (but would like to!!!)

I have plan A
Check where we are sitting and where he - and probably his dog - sorry, I mean partner - are sitting and keep them apart
Plan B - bugger off and play outside with the kids on the basis that someone has to stop the youngest falling/jumping/getting pushed into the lake
Plan C- especially for later - get pissed


It all depends on the families and the people - I have seen some familes where , once things have calmed down, the women whisper and snigger in the corner at family dos
other where they sit in opposite corners and you can feel the tension lancing across the room
