I have residence for 5 children ages 2,6,7,8 and 11 . .
they have a good contact schedule and enjoy going spending time with the mother which is fully supported by myself.
the 7 year old girl also enjoys going but hates sleeping over when the other children do and will cry and say she dont want to go . . do i force her ? . . or do i let her stay with me, the day after she wants to go to mum its just the sleeping. .
when asked why she says its too noisy and no one listens to her when they all sleep at mums. also i think its cause she wants one to one time with me and enjoys the fact that if she dnt go to mum its just me and her. . . just looking for advise from ppl who may of been in this situation ty.
Totally agree, I may start to get a babysitter every thursday for 4 kids and let one take turns in going out with me for one to one time so they know they all get there turn with dad without disrupting time with mum . ive managed to persuade her to go every week and she has done.
Babysitter is an excellen idea, and all kids get to benefit.. you watch them grow mate.. have read your history.. hats off to you. You should feel very proud..
