Cyclone Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I noticed it and thought, oh dear, they've been asking the kids to look for them, and putting them in a terrible position, instead of acting like adults. This supports my previous post, there are 2 sides to every story. You presuppose that 'acting like adults' is a) possible when the mother won't do so, and b) likely to resolve the situation so the children can have their holiday. What do you envisage has already happened and is likely to happen if the father just asks politely again for the passports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I noticed it and thought, oh dear, they've been asking the kids to look for them, and putting them in a terrible position, instead of acting like adults. This supports my previous post, there are 2 sides to every story. what would you do? Say "sorry kids actually I don't want you to come on holiday?" Its all very well saying keep the kids out of it but there is no choice here. We are only hearing one side so thats the side we are commenting on. Saying keep the kids out of it is not advice though as it is impossible based on the facts we have been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This supports my previous post, there are 2 sides to every story. What makes you think they've been asking the kids to look for them? Maybe the kids decided all by themselves???

Darth Vader Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 what would you suggest the OP do? Talk to the mother of his children, get to the bottom of why, ask if there is anything he can do that would make her change her mind, make her feel more comfortable about them going. We are obviously missing a lot of information here, and, as I keep saying, only have 1 side to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Passports belong to the state not individuals, she has no right to restrict access to them. This is true. Passports are the property of the issuing government. Assuming there is no court order banning foreign travel, it would be legally dodgy holding on to the passports and I'm pretty sure you could force her to pay any losses if the holiday was cancelled. That and, as another poster mentioned, blame her by telling the kids she won't let them go. That's bound to hassle the cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe you can call someone names who you have no knowledge of, you know nothing about the woman, other than what you've read from the OP.

upinwath Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm assuming the OP is telling the truth. I assume you're saying they're fibbing as that would be the only way withholding the passports wouldn't be the actions of a ratty cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
