Is it good or bad for a divorced dad & boys to ...

I dont think it is bad to take her to brunch. matter of fact i think its good to stay in touch, i know its gonna be hard , but the boys will undrstand eventually. My mother and father were divorced when i was born, but i gre up to understand. i hthink as long as they get to see both parents and the parents keep there troubles aside and spend time together. it will make a differance.

It is a great idea to take her to brunch. My parents divorced when I was young and they continue to stay friends even tho my mother has a boyfriend. Them being close and being able to go out with each other, me, and my sister helped me get through the hard time alot easier. It will help your boys out knowing you guys can still remain friends.

By all means, go ahead and take their mother to brunch.

The best thing you can do is teach your boys that respect and courtesy do not have to stop just because you and your ex are no longer a couple.

If they are very young they may not understand right away, but please do not let that stop you.

If they ask questions, tell them that just because you and their mother do not love each other any more does not mean that you should be mean to each other.

Explain to them that she is their mother and because they are young and you are their father, you are all going to show their mother what a great mom she is by taking her out on Mother's Day.

You can add that once they get to be old enough, you expect they will remember Mother's Day on their own and take steps to honor their mom without your help or assistance.

Good job! I wish all divorced parents were so thoughtful.
