Separated and facing divorce (Part 3)

[Ready2Change]

Her reply was: she does not want to disrupt the kids school schedule by having them switch houses weekly.

I have about 50 ways I would have responded to this. I never know what hurts or helps, but "truth darts" are sometimes needed.

I first want to argue:

If you TRUELY cared about disrupting anything regarding our children....


But I change my thought process:

Switching houses weekly WILL HAVE NO AFFECT on the school schedule. Lots of other families do this with zero problems.

I want to add more. But then I edit it out. If she tries to argue. I MIGHT go down the "YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT WANTS THIS" path. or "Studies show that the kids need equal and frequent contact with both parents."


You will not win arguments. You stand on your right as a good dad. You stand on the fact that you want them to have a relationship with their mother. (as well as their father).

Things change when people get divorced. Figure out what is important for your kids as well as your relationship with them.
