Fair enough. I'm quite glad you mentioned about still remaining as 
friends - A kids father is just as important as their mother (and it 
sure helps that a kids parents are on talking terms, if not loving each 
other).

As a side note, I should be more qualified to talk on this matter after 
I help out with the production side of a parenting seminar this weekend 
(A girlfriend is still a few weeks (minimum) away, and I plain to know 
her for at least 18 months before we get engaged (kids are a few years 
after marriage)).
