Groundhog Day WAW#15

[missmyfriend]

Phil, I am curious. Are you saying that your D does not want to stay with you on nights that your W works? Why not?

I read something interesting that just came from DivorceCare which is a Christian-based (the Catholic church is one of the sponsors) program to help those who are going through this ordeal. It said that it is best if the parents choose for the children instead of asking the kids what they want to do.

I admit that I have not done it that way. Most of the time, I have asked the kids what they want to do. I can see that it has caused them, at times, to feel conflicted. I have had to express that I love it when they get to spend time with their mom. I even joke with them and say I will be happy to go in their place and they laugh. But I can see how they could feel as if they are betraying one over the other.

This is a tough call, Phil.
