You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Maybe you should tell your dad. at 1st, they have divorced. 2nd, they have their own space to find their truelove. 3nd, if your dad is angry or disappointed, ask you dad to make a move forward to date your mum again unless you does not wish your mum and your dad get back together.

I think eventually your mom will probably let him know. It's not as if your mom is cheating on your dad. See if it actually works out between your mom and her new boyfriend first, you don't know how long it'll last. So, what if you tell him and then they've broken up or something? See what I mean?

None of his business what she does after a divorce.

Kids do not realize that once the marriage is over, it's over.

What he does with the kids time and what she does with the kids time, or what they do with their own time is no concern of either parties.

Kids of a couple have to realize this too.

Not sure why this was voted unhelpful, as the question was answered. Unhelpful and disagree are two different things.

I happen to agree though. If everyone took a step back and butted out of each other's business, there would be a lot less drama in the world. Why get in the middle of all that?

If they are divorced, then stay out of it.

My parents divorced when I was 10. I would have saved myself so much saddness and anxiety if I would have just refused to be the one to pass messages between the two of them. If I knew at your age what I know now, I would have just offered as little information as possible, to one parent about the other. When one of them asked me how the other was doing, I would have just said, "Fine".

I know you want your mom and dad to care about each other and to be interested in each other's lives. The sad truth though is once they are divorced, that only leads to pain -- especially when it comes to their starting to date other people.

I dont think you should tell your dad especially if he still have feelings for her. There are many reasons why you should not tell your dad:

1. He still may have feelings for her and will be more hurt if he hears it from you.

2. They are divorce and privacy is very important

3. Both parents may get upset at you.

4. Mom will not trust you and may start hiding things from you.

5. Dad might judge your mom's behavior

6. You will make them argue more.

My advice just ignore it and stay out of it even if it bothers you. Its ok =)

Since they are divorced, I would say no. Whatever your parents have (friendship, mutual ties to you, bitter feud) it's theirs. They have been dealing with each other longer than you have, and their relationship is not really something their child should be interfering with.

I don't mean to sound harsh, because you are kind of in the middle, but it's not your place to be a spy/informer for either side. You could, however, tell your mom something like "I'm not going to broadcast your life all over, but if dad asks me, I'm not going to lie." I think that's fair to you and fair to everyone else involved.

I think he will find out soon enough that your mom is dating, so let him find out on his own. If your dad still loves your mom, telling him she is dating will hurt his feelings. I know I sure would not want to hurt either of my parents so I would not tell either of them.
