Thanks for that Bruce.............

I had noticed as I have one of them as well...............!

Plenty there in Patts to keep the youngster entertained........especially if you choose a resort style hotel with good pool facilities and a kids club............and of course they have baby sitting facilities..............

It will just have to be a different holiday for you..............

Yes Peter I'll just have to manage somehow...Although sometimes I feel like I'm doing a bit of "baby sitting"

8 year old child in luxurious hotel in South Pattaya together with fathers LB. Social service will listen to son's trip report carefully, but I don't think they will be very happy, quite contrary.

Some interesting responses.Unfortunately us guys are subjected to both homophobia and inequality.
2 guys with a child is still taboo.Lesbians on the other hand do their stuff with the turkey baster and nobody bats an eyelid.
Inequality raises its ugly head through the courts and custodial arrangements.Ex partners would view a guy holidaying with his son and ladyboy as wonderful ammo.
So whilst it was considered the cons clearly out weigh the pros.I am all for pushing the boundaries but not prepared at this stage to risk putting my relationship with my son at risk.If I was the sole parent I would not hestitate.But when you have a vindictive x on your tail you watch your back.
So for the time being I keep the 2 lives separate.And maybe 19 is a good age for the openness to surface.Its just a pity that we live in a world where we are judged so harshly.

Being the father of an eight year old, I have also contemplated this topic...but having not yet been to LOS, for me it is pure speculation.

Having said that, let me offer my two cents. I think the key to it is what your (and the lb's) attitude is when around your son. As you undoubtedly know, children are incredibly perceptive! Therein; if either you or your lb friend are having any thoughts that would seem outside the norm, your son will surely perceive that something is not quite right. If you are both just acting as normal friends do, your son probably won't suspect anything unusual and will therefore feel comfortable - depending on how passable your lb is as a gg.

However, when he gets older and remembers 'those trips' with dad, he will surely know it wasn't as he thought and you will have to be prepared to deal with that.

Again, I speak only from experience with a child, not from experience in LOS. As to 'child welfare' or the vengeful X, those are different matters entirely.

The main point is; you can't really fool kids. Sooner or later, they figure it out. And if they suspect some secret but don't understand the truth, it messes with their heads.

Wise words indeed.........we also have to consider your timeline...........

If it is early days in the aftermath of the seperation then it is probably best left alone till the dust has settled and judicial and financial arrangements have been made............

If you brought an LB into the equation before then.........wow.........merry fuckin' hell would surely break loose.............

You also have to take into account your lads opinion........though only 8 he is far from stupid and he has to settle down to life without his father as he used to know it.

It would be a bit like going up to the Fickle Finger of Fate and saying "Fuck You!!! Do your worst!!!"

A very very bad idea.

Well done Petesie , letting those fish go like you did ...,

I also use Catch and release method , whether it is voluntary or required, it must be done properly if it is to succeed in having the fish survive.

I absolutely could not imagine taking an 8 year old to Pattaya, whether I was mongering or not. I am always kind of freaked out when I see families walking around in that place - I mean WTF! There are about a million better places to go with a kid.

Glad to see you've come to your senses.
